E-1 ver.2

Building upon the foundation of its predecessor, the E-1 ver.2 elevates the Series 1 analogue experience by incorporating the New Type-R circuit originally developed for the flagship E-3. This fully discrete, non-negative feedback architecture ensures that the delicate signal from your turntable remains uncoloured and immediate, preserving the precise temporal cues that define a truly immersive performance. Versatility is central to its design, offering dedicated inputs for MC and MM cartridges alongside a high-performance optical cartridge interface. Each stage benefits from a newly developed bias circuit and discrete non-NFB regulation, which collectively achieve a superior signal-to-noise ratio and heightened expressiveness. The result is a sound that feels remarkably airy, transparent, and effortlessly dynamic. Constructed with an emphasis on resonance management, the E-1 ver.2 features a direct mechanical earth system that dissipates harmful vibrations through precision-engineered spikes located directly beneath the transformer. This meticulous attention to mechanical and electrical purity ensures that the listener hears nothing but the music, presented with the authority and tonal realism that have become the hallmark of the Soulnote brand.
