Tube Line Stage around $5k

I paid a lot less than $5k for the Zesto. It is six + years old but I'm gonna roll the dice with it being new , sealed box ,  Sorry but I would never buy another VTL again, especially used....   horrible customer service

Received the Zesto Leto and have been listening a few days.  Incredible sounding,  dynamic but has great detail,  rhythm and pace.   Actually sounds like I got a whole new system, it's staggering.     I needed a little help from Zesto and they are first class all the way.   Its great that I can use balanced gear with it too.  Best bass of any preamp I've used  or owned .  Amazing clarity....  zero self noise.  Hit pause and turn it up louder than you would normally listen and still, black dark silence . Worth every penny .

How wonderful;-) Enjoy the music

Thanks.   I hate throwing all kinds of superlatives around,  but it really is as good as Stereophile, TAS,  Positive Feedback and others have said.   Its so lifelike ,  you get a sense of the recording space.  Unreal.

Hard to believe it was sitting in storage all these years,  It was from a dealer that passed away as I understand it.  I  have a few copies of the original color brochure/ Spec Sheets that were in the box , if any  original Leto owners would like a copy to go with their owners manual just PM me.
