Zesto Audio Andros II - Phono Stage
Why Vinyl Records
For true audiophiles, nothing equals the warmth, dynamic range and fidelity of vinyl records. A critical component of every music lovers Vinyl playback system is the Phonostage or Phono preamp.
Why a Phonostage is So Important
When a vinyl record is made the volume of the bass is reduced and the treble is increased. Otherwise, the bass would cut a groove too big for a stylus to read or for the music to fit the record. The phonostage reverses the process by taking the delicate signal from your cartridge and adjusting it so that the bass and treble are restored to their original volume. This common standard is known as the RIAA curve.
The Andros
Inspired by RCA’s vacuum tube circuit designs from the 1930s, the Andros has been engineered to bring you the clarity and depth of the original recording. Your highs will be crisp but not overly emphasized, your midranges clear and present without being shrill and your lows full and firm without being boomy.
A Startling Difference
As we went through testing our panel of audiophiles marveled at hearing subtle nuances, discovering new things in recordings they’d played many, many times. They appreciated its clear stereo image with maximum channel separation and minimal phase distortion.
Hearing is Believing
Words are inadequate to the task of explaining the Andros. You simply must hear it to believe it.
What is Andros?
Andros is a Greek Island, and the home of my grandmother’s family.

Best Moisturizer & Clears ECZEMA FAST! TIPS & BONUS USES
Size: 11 Ounce (Pack of 1)
After wasting money on many supermarket and expensive brands, this is the only one that really works!
I don't have eczema, but another friend does, who first told me about this product.
I do have dry skin, though, whenever I over wash my hands due to chores, repairs or taking care of family, and the dry indoor heat or coldness of winter weather.
My friend with eczema swears by this. She's tried other brands and even prescriptions, which have side effects (steroids thin the skin and is bad for your immunity).
When her skin had cracks or is itchy, she applies it, and it heals up within a few days.
She uses it also as maintenance daily, to prevent future outbreaks or skin cracking.
There's the regular "Aveeno Eczema Therapy" in a tube, but it stings at first if you have any cracks in the skin, which subsides after a few minutes, but it works faster with sealing up cracks.
I love this product because it's very rich, but not too greasy.
It doesn't sting if you have skin cracks, and is gentler and still works well, but it takes a little bit longer.
It's even more effective than the regular "Aveeno Baby Eczema Care" creme in a tube.
I prefer jars because there's always some product left in a tube.
You can't squeeze out what's left at the bottom, and have to cut the tube apart to get at it.
AMAZON HAS THE BEST PRICE, that I've seen online or off.
It's also available in the Baby Section only at stores like supermarkets, pharmacies, etc., but this is the lowest price.
SUBSCRIBE, and you can save even more.
DO NOT BUY ANY GENERICS! They don't work!
I've tried buying them, since it looked like they had the same ingredients, and costs less,
but they are simply not efficacious.
USE WATER TO KEEP MOISTURE IN:
Surprisingly enough, it's not the moisturizer per se that keeps your skin hydrated, it's water.
For example, think of a grape (full, plump with water, juicy), versus a prune (a dried out grape).
Moisturizer provides a physical barrier to keep your skin hydrated.
Of course, a moisturizer's ingredients can also make it a superior or inferior product.
The Aveeno Eczema line has colloidal oatmeal, which is soothing, and healing to the skin.
HOW TO USE WATER WITH MOISTURIZER:
Wet the application areas with water first (I run my hands lightly under the tap), so the product will absorb faster (water hydrates when mixed with moisturizer), and it won't be greasy.
Your skin will feel non-greasy, and not wet within a few minutes.
Use a paper towel or tissues to lightly wipe off the excess, and you can use your hands right away.
I find that this method keeps my skin hydrated more effectively and longer.
YOU'LL USE LESS CREAM WITH WATER:
I use only a tablespoon size, and spread it all over my hands, and along my forearms and elbows.
Water thins and spreads out the cream more easily.
You can use it on DRY, CRACKED FEET, too.
Apply it throughout the day after you wash your hands and before bed, and you'll never get dry skin or eczema outbreaks again! (Per me and my circle of friends).
BUY SEVERAL JARS, and scatter around them the house, like the bathrooms, kitchen, work areas, etc.
BONUS USES:
1. INSECT BITES:
A friend reported that it even works in a pinch to help alleviate bug bites that she's gotten (fleas from animal rescue, mosquitoes, etc).
Wash the area or use an alcoholic sanitizer or baby wipes to clean the bite area first.
Then spread on Aveeno, if you don't have an antihistamine topical product handy.
ALOE VERA GEL FROM THE PLANT also has miraculous healing powers with insect bites, burns,
skin rashes, etc.
You just cut a small piece at an angle, open it up with scissors along the leaf's seam, and apply the gel.
You can wrap a bandage or strip of clean cloth lightly over the area to keep the gel in place, if you want.
The cut plant area will close by itself within a day. Aloe vera is sold cheap at supermarkets, nurseries, etc.,
at under $10.
The gel feels cool and soothing to the skin. The plant is superior to any packaged product.
DO NOT SCRATCH THE ITCH!
IF YOU IGNORE IT, IT'LL DISAPPEAR by itself within a few hours.
Trust me, it really works with mosquito bites. I used to itch for days, until I stopped scratching it.
Distract yourself by watching tv, reading or using your cell to ignore the itch, and just lightly apply
your best anti-itch remedy (DO NOT RUB or you'll stimulate the histamines from the bite).
Anytime that you're tempted to scratch, apply your remedy instead.
THE BEST THINGS TO STOP ITCHING FAST (In order of effectiveness) are:
1) Anti-histamine topical product
2) Aloe vera gel from the plant (also heals the skin)
3) Aveeno creme (also heals the skin)
4) Alcoholic rub
2. SKIN RASHES:
A friend of mine said she was by herself with the baby one day, stuck with no car and husband away, when the diaper creme had run out in the evening.
She applied Aveeno several times, and the rash disappeared the next morning.
Another friend used Aveeno for a strange rash that showed up on her arm when she accidentally brushed against some plants when hiking, and it disappeared within a few hours. She washed the area first, then applied the cream.
Of course, it's best to use a product designed for rashes, especially for babies.
And get any mysterious rash checked out by a doctor.
Btw, I don't get compensated for any of my reviews.
I wanted to give a recommendation for a fantastic moisturizer that I've been using for several years.

Must have for travel - TSA approved size
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
As an adult who has dealt with eczema on and off for years, I originally bought Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Nighttime Moisturizing Balm for travel, but it has honestly become a staple in my routine.
First, the texture is rich and balm-like, yet it does not feel greasy or heavy on the skin. It melts in nicely and creates a protective barrier that actually lasts overnight. I use it on dry patches around my hands, elbows, and sometimes on irritated areas during flare-ups. By morning, the redness and itching feel noticeably calmer.
I really appreciate that it contains colloidal oatmeal and ceramide. The oatmeal gives almost instant soothing relief when my skin feels inflamed, and the ceramide helps lock in moisture so my skin does not dry out again within a few hours. It is fragrance-free, which is a must for my sensitive skin. No stinging, no strong scent, and no irritation.
Even though it is marketed for babies, it works just as well for adult eczema. The 1 oz travel size is perfect for keeping in a purse or carry-on, especially during colder months when dry air makes everything worse.
If you are an adult with mild to moderate eczema or stubborn dry patches, this is absolutely worth trying. It is a small container, but a little goes a long way. I will definitely be repurchasing, and next time I will likely go for the full size.

Really helps soothe baby eczema overnight
Size: 11 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This balm worked very well for my baby’s eczema, especially when used at night. It’s thick and moisturizing but not greasy, and it absorbs nicely into the skin. After a few nights of use, I noticed less redness, dryness, and scratching, and my baby seemed more comfortable sleeping.
It’s fragrance-free and gentle, which is very important for sensitive baby skin. A little goes a long way, so the jar lasts a good amount of time. If your baby has dry or eczema-prone skin, this is definitely worth trying.

Helped with my baby's eczema!!
Size: 11 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Long overdue review but this was a lifesaver for my sons eczema. Before he was diagnosed, I was struggling to find a moisturizer to help soothe his angry red skin and his flare up wasn't going away or lessening at all. My sister whose son also has eczema, suggested I buy this tub after she gave us some to try. It worked! As a first time mom, seeing my 4-5 month old baby suffering from itchy and uncomfortable skin, I was so stressed about finding something that would help him. This body balm was thick and applied daily after his nighttime bath. The large red patches on his body slowly started to dissipate and we were so relieved. He was prescribed steroid cream for worse flare ups but we use this regularly to keep his eczema flare ups to a minimum and avoid steroid use as much as possible. Although sometimes this doesn't work for the more severe flares, so keep that in mind. It's okay to use the steroid cream or eucrisa prescribed by the doctor. Aveeno is a great daily maintenance cream to help keep their skin moisturized and happy. I highly recommend this jar of body balm, it lasts for many months and a little bit goes a long way.
