The Esoteric F-02 is a high-end dual mono integrated amplifier that combines preamplifier and power amplifier technologies from Esoteric's flagship Grandioso “X” Edition. It features a fully balanced dual mono preamp derived from the Grandioso C1X, utilizing the 'Ultra Fidelity Attenuator System' with 'UFA-1792' module for precise 0.1dB steps in 1,120 increments. The power amp section employs a simple circuit based on Grandioso M1X with bipolar transistor 3-parallel push-pull, delivering 120W + 120W (8Ω) and 240W + 240W (4Ω). Additional highlights include 3 ES-Link Analog/XLR inputs, MM/MC phono stage, dual headphone outputs (balanced XLR and unbalanced 6.3mm), 3-band tone controls, adjustable input gains and balance, ES-Link/XLR pre-outs, and support for external PS-01F power supply. It offers AV through output, programmable source names, remote control (RC-1339), and control interfaces (RS-232C, triggers).
