Esoteric’s Phonostage Preamp for Vinyl Lovers

There are those who kind of like vinyl now and then. Esoteric’s E-03 Phonostage Preamp was not designed for them. Instead, the high-end company aimed the E-03 squarely at those who love vinyl above all other things and want a phonostage preamplifier that will love them back.

For example, each E-03 L/R channel has its own identical power supply transformer, power board, and audio board. By not sharing components, Esoteric has designed the E-03 for ideal signal path and separation and as a bonus, power to spare.

The E-03 contains an MC head amplifier and an NF-CR type RIAA amplifier, which ensures extensive head room and transfer, and again, power to spare.

There is no microprocessor in the E-03, and thus no microprocessor noise; input and load are switched on the audio board. And the dual split chassis design prevents flux leakage from the power transducer and effectively stiffens the body, already of industrial-grade construction.

There are many more techy features of the E-03 to describe, but the proof is in the listening. For more information, point your browser to http://www.teac.com/esoteric.
