The Esoteric E-02 is a fully balanced preamp/phono corrector from the input stage to the end stage. It is ideal for processing extremely low–level signals from movable coil cartridges (MC type), thanks to the minimization of noise and interference, as well as powerful amplification of low-impedance signals - to ensure the best sound of your favorite record collection.

    Esoteric Grandioso E1

    Grandioso E1 имеет конфигурацию с двумя шасси, в которой секции питания и управления отделены от основного. Разделив функции, которые являются потенциальными источниками вибрации и шума, от основного шасси, разработчики добились максимально чистового аудиосигнала.
