Zest

Pure Analog Integrated Amplifier

"Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value." [Albert Einstein]

Vista Audio continues to create high-value products and, as proven by our Spark integrated amplifier, products offering great value trace the path for great success. Zest integrated amplifier is another Vista product firmly standing on that path.

FEATURES:

ALPS Blue Velvet potentiometer for volume control
Ultrafast diodes in the rectifier circuit
Custom-made, oversized power transformer
30,000 micro Farads in the power supply filter providing large reserve of instantaneous power
Low background noise thanks to the gold-plated printed circuit board (PCB) with dedicated ground planes
Short signal path due to the judicious use of miniature surface-mount components (SMD technology)

Fundamentals are still the same: oversized custom-made toroidal transformer (built by Trafomatic), double-side metallized polypropylene capacitors at the input and time-tested circuit topology. The result is a product that fits perfectly into the Vista Audio lineup and follows the tradition of exceptional performance and sound quality.

Please note: There are two versions of Zest, with 120 V and 230 V input voltage. These two versions are sold world-wide. The power cord does not ship with the unit: all power cords need to meet local safety regulations. A power cord with a standard "PC plug" (standard C13 connector) can be used. Minimum wire cross section of the power cord should be AWG16 (or 1.5mm²).
