I previously owned the first generation Zesto phono, it was a good all around performer and I did like it, ultimately I found it a little soft and lacking dynamics (especially in comparison to the Pass Xono I had at the time), I felt it could use a little more gain also, I ended up selling it. Not sure if the 1.2 has improved these aspects.
The Herron offers infinite loading which appears quite appealing. Based on a few user reviews I have read, it sounds as though this is the preferred loading method. It seems I may need to purchase one to see for myself...
