Esoteric E-02 Phono Stage

[Nemal1]

Hi all,

Is anyone familiar with or owns this phono stage.

Already using a K01x and clock, it aesthetically matches.

I’d probably purchase an ARC Ref phono 3 but don’t have the available top shelf to house on, plus I need a balanced input to match my triplanar se arm lead.

I’m not looking for alternatives, just comments on this actual stage.

Thanks in advance and look forward to hearing from you

No replies to my initial thread but I purchased anyway and very pleased with the improvement (after just a few hours) from my previous phono stage.
It’s just been reviewed in AS with a glowing recommendation and great value for the quality cost ratio

Good to hear.I think the Esoteric E-02 Phono Stage looks good value.
