Has anyone actually bought a Zesto Phono preamp?

This is the one manufactured by the company known as Andros.
I know,the company name sounds like a fictional planet in a fifties sci-fi movie and the name of the amp sounds like a cleaning product.So much for "branding" 101 for these people,question is what does the amp sound like?

I havaen't heard it yet, but if you're near Eastern Massachusetts, Goodwin's High End has one in their showroom.

Zesto is actually a chain of ice cream shops here in the Louisville area. In other areas also: "While some former franchisees continued to operate under different names, others retained the Zesto name, and they do so today independent of each other and without support from a governing franchise structure. Among the cities where locally owned Zestos currently operate include Evansville, Indiana, Seattle, Washington, Atlanta, Georgia, Columbia, South Carolina, and Omaha, Nebraska (where it operates across from Rosenblatt Stadium, former home of the College World Series).
The Zesto trademark is currently controlled by Zesto Inc., a Missouri corporation owned by Harold Brown, who operates the first known Zesto in Jefferson City, Missouri, and registered the mark in 1985. Brown's company grants exclusive rights to use the Zesto name by territory."

I am going to turn them in for trademark infringment! LOL

Yes, I listened to this phono pre at T.H.E. Las Vegas in January and was very impressed with the sound, build quality and price. Great value in a phono pre amp. It was played through TAD monitors; a very revealing speaker and I found it to have a fluid pace and musicality that was effortless sounding.

We used this phono preamp in our room at THE SHOW Las Vegas. The rest of the system was our own Electra-Fidelity A3-500 300B monoblocks and OTL preamp, Fritz Carbon 7 Speakers, Resolution Audio Cantata, and Denon DP-3000 turntable completely refurbished by Concert Fidelity. Cabling was by WyWires.

This was the first time I had an opportunity to listen to the Zesto unit at length, having previously heard it briefly at RMAF and THE SHOW Newport. IMO the unit, in addition to being well built and attractive, performs extremely well and for a tubed phono stage is extremely quiet. I would agree with Hifimaniac's comments on the sound and add that we played a number of different musical genres and the unit did not disappoint us.
