{"product_id":"soulnote-e-2-ver-1-mm-mc-optical-phono-preamplifier","title":"Soulnote E-2 Ver 1 MM\/MC\/Optical Phono Preamplifier","description":"Inputs: One MC balanced XLR, two MC\/MM unbalanced RCA, one optical cartridge input. Specs: MC loads (3-1000 ohms), MM capacitance (100-350 pF), 144 legacy EQ curves, and a 400 VA toroidal transformer. The Soulnote E-2 Version 1 is a flagship phono preamplifier for advanced analog systems. It features a fully balanced, non-negative feedback discrete circuit with a twin-mono architecture for immense speed and a black noise floor. This unit accommodates up to four tonearms simultaneously across MM, MC, and photoelectric cartridges, while offering a built-in degausser, mono mode, and phase inverter.\n\nCritics praise the E-2 as an end-game phono stage, celebrating its clarity, deep soundstage, and tonal realism. Reviewers highlight that its ultra-low noise floor creates a quiet backdrop that lets music sound vivid and dynamic without coloration. The ability to adjust legacy, non-RIAA curves for vintage pressings is considered a revelation for collectors, delivering impactful bass and unforced highs that unlock hidden details in any record.\n\nManaging multiple tonearms or cartridge types normally requires a cluttered rack of separate preamps. This unit solves that by consolidating reference-grade optical, moving coil, and moving magnet playback into a single, masterfully built hub. It simplifies your system while maximizing sonic performance, making it the definitive choice to anchor a world-class analog setup for years to come.","brand":"Soulnote","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67876142416153,"sku":"101570","price":4429.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/4225\/1545\/files\/101570-3.jpg?v=1792621721","url":"https:\/\/tmraudio.com\/products\/soulnote-e-2-ver-1-mm-mc-optical-phono-preamplifier","provider":"The Music Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
