About the E02
The Esoteric E-02 is a flagship fully balanced phonostage preamplifier that inherits the acclaimed design of the E-03 while introducing fully balanced circuits from input to output, optimized for low-level MC cartridge signals to minimize noise and deliver powerful, dynamic sound. It employs dual-mono construction with independent power supplies per channel for superior separation, a NF-CR type RIAA amplifier with ±0.2dB deviation, buffer amplifiers from the Grandioso C1 with 2,000V/μs slew rate, and features like DEMAG function, subsonic filter, MONO switch, and adjustable load impedances. Built with high-grade components, rigid chassis, and proprietary isolation feet, it supports XLR balanced input, multiple RCA inputs, and outputs via XLR, RCA, or ES-LINK Analog for exceptional vinyl playback quality.
