RCM Sensore Prelude OR Zesto Andros PS1 Phono?

Hi All. I have the opportunity to purchase either one of these two phono stages. My problem is i would be doing so with only having heard the RCM Sensor Prelude. Whilst i think this is a great phono stage i am wondering if anyone has heard both the Sensor Prelude AND the Zesto Andros in their setup and if they could convey their thoughts to assist me with my decision making process. I can't find any online reviews that compares both of them in the same review. There are great individual reviews for both of these items. So keen to get other perspectives and especially keen to hear if anyone has heard both? Thank You

Yes i tend to agree with you Pani. Hence my question. I trust you have heard the Prelude but not the Zesto Andros? Would this be correct?

With all of the praise being heaped upon the Zesto at the moment it does make one wonder just how much better it is likely to be than anything one might currently have (if better at all - of course depending what you currently have). Given it's modest price point (by comparison) it could be one of those devices where the purchase could potentially be justified. I could potentially recoup part of my purchase with selling my Prelude.

What is the difference between the normal RCM en the Furetech version?

Mordante,

The fuses and terminals are all Furutech. I spoke with Roger Adamek (RCM owner and designer) and the difference in his opinion is not subtle as compared to the original Sensor, which is a great unit in its own right. I had the benefit of speaking Polish with him as I grew up there and he is a very nice man, as most of the designers I've spoken with are.
