ZESTO AUDIO ANDROS TÉSSERA REFERENCE PHONOSTAGE ANNOUNCED

Building on the release of the 2016 Andros Téssera Phonostage the new T-REF is a complete electronic redesign of all the circuits, power supply and components.
George Counnas, President and Chief Engineer says, “I’m proud to give this product the Reference label. The design synergy really came together. It’s quieter, more musical and the detail from the groove is quite astonishing.” It’s the kind of product that people will say, “I never heard that from my vinyl before.”
FOUR TONEARMS
The Zesto Audio Andros Téssera Reference accommodates up to four tonearms with 2 MM and 2 MC inputs and with fully transformer balanced outputs. Each independent dual Mono channel has two sets of ground loop switches.
WHAT’S DIFFERENT?
Here are three main differences to the newT-REF over the previous model.
New ESP Supply design using three toroidal transformers.
New tube configuration with the use of the 12DW7/ECC832, as well as 12AU7s and 12AX7s.
New upgraded components and circuit design.
The T-REF is still 100% analogue tube circuitry throughout the signal path and is dual chassis with the ESP power supply
