European Audio Team (EAT)

The EAT E-Glo 2 phono preamplifier is equipped with four ECC83 tubes and two ECC88 tubes. According to the manufacturer, the user can experiment with different compatible tubes, achieving a sound that matches his tastes to the maximum extent. The EAT E-Glo 2 phono preamplifier has a fully balanced input stage with a Lundahl LL1932 step-up transformer for the MC input. The transformer provides a gain of 45 dB, sufficient for working with moving coil (MC) heads. The equalization stage here is completely passive.

E.A.T. Fortissimo is the flagship vinyl record player with belt drive, magnetic suspension, external motor, and massive support disc. A support disc with a diameter of 400 mm and a weight of more than 22 kg with 12 brass inserts around the perimeter

The EAT Fortissimo S vinyl record player is designed to be a significant step forward compared to the popular Forte S model from the same company. The novelty is equipped with a massive support disc with a diameter of 15.75 inches and a weight of 22.5 kg, made of aluminum, brass and vinyl. At the same time, the weight of the entire player reaches an impressive 47 kg!

E.A.T Forte is a large and heavy machine that can squeeze the most out of your vinyl discs. The turntable's design is based on an ideal combination of two main elements: a separate motor unit and a massive body. The case is very heavy and filled with metal filings. The magnetic support legs serve as a pedestal, securely holding the structure.

The model's disc is finished with a muffling sorbotane on the underside, and a protective damping layer of recycled vinyl on the end, which makes the player absolutely silent. The reverse load-bearing structure with a ceramic ball on the surface is in contact with Teflon. The pressure on the ball is reduced by two huge neodymium magnets, which support the heavy disk and take on most of its weight.

EAT's E-Flat is a brand new turntable with a revolutionary flat tonearm. Although attempts to use a flat tonearm have occurred before, it has never been possible to achieve the rigidity and stability required for modern turntables. Thanks to the development of carbon fiber production technologies, Forte has been able to develop a tonearm with the practical and aesthetic advantages of a flat profile and avoid the usual volatility of this type of construction.

Carbon fiber and thermoplastic elastomer (TEP) were used in the design of the model, and the base is made of MDF. The manufacturer pays special attention to the "ultra-quiet" motor and 10 damper legs made of TEP. Among other elements, a drive belt made of antistatic rubber is distinguished. According to EAT, the tonearm combines the advantages of single-bearing and ball bearings (silicone grease is involved). The tube of the tonearm is made of carbon fiber, and the shell is made of aluminum.

The turntable is equipped with a low-noise, fully vibration-proof motor and has a low rumble level. The player's body is supported by three shock-absorbing and height-adjustable aluminum supports, which ensure the perfect horizontal position of the table and minimize vibrations.

The player is designed for those who need additional features, but who don't want to spend a fortune. The C-Sharp turntable was used as a model for the C-Major. The plate is lighter, and the speed control is done manually rather than electronically. However, the tonearm is really something that could be seen on a more expensive turntable, so E.A.T. invested money in it, even though it is 1 inch shorter than the tonearm in the C-Sharp.

The B-Sharp player uses the same design features as the C-Major model. At the same time, B-Sharp has lost all the minor cosmetic decorations of C-Major — without compromising on sound quality or mechanical integrity, providing excellent playback quality at a more affordable price.

The model is characterized by the use of a heavy aluminum support disc, a high-density fiberboard body, and a bearing with extremely low tolerances. The table is covered with eight layers of varnish, and a removable dust cover is included.

The signal circuits use high-quality capacitors manufactured by Mundorf and Obbligato. The output power of the EAT E-GLO I amplifier is 35 watts in ultraline mode and 18 watts in triode mode. The component weighs 26 kilograms.

The EAT E-Glo 2 phono corrector is equipped with four ECC83 lamps and two ECC88 lamps. According to the manufacturer, the user can experiment with different compatible lamps, achieving a sound that suits his tastes to the maximum extent.

E-Glo Petit is the younger brother of the highly regarded and award—winning E-Glo S. Thanks to its completely discrete design without operational amplifiers, we were able to achieve outstanding sound in a small and compact form factor. Stunning dynamics, clear midrange, and high resolution are what make the E-Glo Petit so much better than its weight.

In the fully-balanced input stage, we fitted a Lundahl step up transformer with an amorphous core, type LL1932. The unit's gain is 45db, plus the voltage gain of the step-up transformer. E-Glo's amplifier section uses split, fully passive equalisation, without any equalisation in global negative feedback loop, which can harm the sound.

E.A.T. Jo N°8 – MC is a pickup head with a Shibata sharpening needle, a boron cantilever and a chestnut solid wood body. This is a high-end pickup that extracts more from the audio track than has been possible so far.

The Jo No.5 cartridge comes in a unique mint green color and features a true and exciting sound, which is the hallmark of E.A.T. This is the second cartridge in history, after the highly acclaimed and successful Yosegi MC. Jo No.5 is an elegant masterpiece, both in sound and visual terms.

The EAT Yosegi cartridge model consists of a number of "micro-square" pieces of various types of natural wood, which are glued together with special resins. In the very center of the cartridge are motors, consoles, and diamonds of various calibers from the best Japanese pickup manufacturers. Thanks to the combination of traditional Yosegi woodworking art and modern high-quality materials, the cartridge is able to provide vivid and open playback of recorded music.

The tonearm has a gimbal design with four point bearings characterized by an ultra-low coefficient of friction.

The tonearm has a proprietary Magneglide system that provides magnetic stabilization (based on neodymium magnets). Moreover, in addition to stability, this system also provides an anti-skating function. Interestingly, the tonearm tube is easy to detach, so users can have multiple tubes with cartridges already pre-installed, which makes it easy and quick to replace the heads if necessary.

The E.A.T C-Note is a high-end 10-inch vinyl turntable tonearm made from a combination of carbon fiber and aluminum to minimize resonances; it uses a hybrid bearing system for high tracking accuracy and supports a wide range of cartridges thanks to adjustable clamping and antiskating parameters.

The E.A.T C-Note 9" is a 9-inch (230 mm) long straight rotary tonearm with an effective weight of about 19.2 g, made from a combination of carbon fiber and aluminum to minimize resonances; uses a hybrid bearing system (unipivot + gimbal) for high tracking accuracy and supports a wide range of cartridges thanks to adjustable clamping and anti-skating

The model has received new internal wiring, a titanium tube and an improved fulcrum design – together with the proprietary Magneglide magnetic stabilization system, the single-support structure has reached a new level of convenience and stability.
