Esoteric Launches the flagship Grandioso E1 phonostage preamplifier Esoteric, July 11, 2024

Vinyl Renaissance

Following in the footsteps of the T1 turntable, which revolutionized the history of vinyl playback with its Esoteric MagneDrive system, the E1 phono stage preamplifier reveals the true sound of the MC cartridge with its unique balanced current input.
Vinyl is the most classic way of reproducing music, but the E1 is the next step in the quest for ever more exquisite realism, with bold infusion of new technology and creativity. Our aim is to move the souls of hi-fi enthusiasts with a sound that no one has ever heard from a vinyl playback system before.
This is the spirit of the ‘Vinyl Renaissance’ that we seek.
