The F-01 / E-02 has been awarded “The Absolute Sound 2026 Editors’ Choice”
Esoteric is proud to announce that our Class A integrated amplifier F-01 and the E-02 Phonostage Preamplifier have been awarded “the absolute sound 2026 Editors’ Choice” by The Absolute Sound, one of the most authoritative Hi-Fi magazines in the world.
(Summary)
“… an amp that has imaging to rival the best power amplifiers available. And the dynamics of the F-01 are exceptional. The F-01 isn’t a tone-shaping amplifier, but if you are aiming for believability and can get over your brain shouting about low power, this is an excellent choice.”
“… it's a bargain compared with much pricier phonostages. … what makes it such a standout is the way it disappears, imparting virtually no sonic signature of its own to the music. The E-02 simply sounds like the recording and the rest of your system. The execution and build-quality are exemplary.”
