It is not widely known that the output current of MC cartridges is significantly higher than that of MM cartridges. The MC balanced current input is the most efficient and lossless way to extract the full energy generated by the MC cartridge, compared to the conventional “voltage input,” which converts the output current to a “significantly low” micro-voltage via a load resistor. This approach allows the sound inherent in the MC cartridge to be reproduced with all the performance’s reality intact. Additionally, there is no need to worry about impedance matching between the MC cartridge and the phono stage, ensuring that the best sound can always be extracted from the MC cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMC Balanced Current Input – Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMC cartridges use smaller coils than MM cartridges to keep vibrating systems lighter and capable of picking up finer musical details. As a result, the output “voltage” is generally about 1\/20th of that of MM cartridges. However, the MC cartridge, with its low-impedance coil and powerful magnet outside the vibrating system, can output a much higher “current” than the MM cartridge. In other words, the MC cartridge is a power generator that excels at delivering power in the form of “current” rather than “voltage.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the case of a conventional “voltage input,” the original rich current is converted by the load resistance into a tiny voltage signal of about 1\/20th of that of an MM cartridge, resulting in various issues, such as S\/N degradation due to the need for large amplification in the following stage, losses due to resistance, and unwanted changes in sonic characteristics due to impedance mismatch. On the other hand, the MC balanced current input allows the high power (high current) of the MC cartridge to be fed directly into the discrete amplifier, enabling the most efficient signal extraction without loss. Additionally, by feeding both ends (+\/–) of the MC cartridge’s coil into a balanced amplifier, a signal can be extracted without noise. By using transistors originally designed for current amplification in the gain element, the E1 further enhances design rationality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOptical Cartridge Input\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptical pickup cartridges use an internal LED and a light receiver (PD: photodiode) to optically detect the movement of the cantilever and output it as an analog music signal.

Incorporating all of the preamp and power amp developments from the flagship Grandioso “X” Edition, the new F Series integrated amplifiers deliver outstanding musicality that captures the rich textures of music in a single integrated amplifier. Despite the fact that the F Series is an integrated amplifier, it delivers a thorough quality and performance that will be the envy of all separate amp users. The F Series is the integrated amplifier that owners of Esoteric’s K and N Series digital players have been waiting for, and it pushes the boundaries of integrated amplifier technology.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F-02 has been significantly upgraded from the previous F Series in terms of both functionality and sound quality, incorporating a number of new technologies from the development of the flagship Grandioso C1X preamplifier. The large-scale, balanced dual mono preamp comparable to a separate preamp, comes standard with three ES-Link Analog inputs that allow our proprietary current-based signal input from the Esoteric K\/N Series digital source players for a live listening experience as if monitored directly from a recording studio analog console. The new F Series also features a unique \"Ultra Fidelity Attenuator System\", and the power supply section of the preamplifier has been further upgraded. Other key preamp features include a fully balanced headphone amplifier, dual mono phonostage preamp, and a high-quality 3-band balanced tone control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F-02 can also be expanded into a multi-amplifier system by connecting the S-05 power amplifier to the ES-Link Analog pre-outs. For even higher sound quality, an optional external power supply unit (to be announced) dedicated to the preamp can be connected. This unique design, which seems to contradict the integrated concept, is a testament to the F-02's high expandability and is the best proof that the built-in fully balanced dual mono preamp is designed with an uncompromising emphasis on quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUltra Fidelity Attenuator System\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn preamp design, the amplitude of the audio signal is proportional to the supply voltage of the active attenuator. In other words, a system with a low supply voltage will not allow sufficient amplitude of the audio signal, resulting in suppressed dynamic range and an unfavorable signal-to-noise ratio. The heart of the preamp, the attenuator circuit, features the \"Ultra Fidelity Attenuator System\" used in the Grandioso C1X. This proprietary Esoteric system is designed with a high supply voltage to maximize dynamics and greatly improve the signal-to-noise ratio. In addition, even though it is a stepped attenuator circuit, the 0.1dB\/1,120 steps (more than 10 times the number of steps of a typical preamp) allow for silky smooth and detailed volume adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UFA-1792 stepped attenuator module, is an Esoteric’s proprietary module designed with advanced and super modern process technology. In order to achieve the amazingly fine step of 0.1dB, the myriad of resistors inside are manufactured under the most stringent quality control. Esoteric engineers uncompromisingly examined all materials, circuit patterns, and layout, and created independent power \/ ground signal paths for each circuit block inside the module to achieve high performance and high sound quality, one of the benchmarks of modern preamp module design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePowerful Power Supply That Determines Preamp Quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is no exaggeration to say that the quality of a preamp is determined by the quality of its power supply.\u003cbr\u003eFollowing the philosophy of the Grandioso C1X, the power supply section has a separate power transformer winding and a rectifier board dedicated to the preamp to enhance sonic purity and driving power. In addition, the audio rectification circuit is completely independent of the logic control section to prevent noise contamination. The power rectifier uses our own Grandioso custom capacitors in a parallel configuration. Current can be charged\/discharged to multiple capacitors in a time-differentiated manner, ensuring a stable and clean power supply to the preamp at all times. In addition, although the F-02 is an integrated amplifier, an external power supply (to be released at a later date) can be connected to the built-in preamp, allowing users to enjoy sound quality close to that of the Grandioso C1X, which has a separate power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eES-Link Analog – Our Proprietary Current Signal Transmission\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eES-Link Analog is a unique current transmission method that eliminates the influence of cable impedance and maintains sound fidelity and quality, the most important factors in signal transmission. 3 XLR inputs can be switched between ES-LINK Analog and standard XLR. The pre-outs are also equipped with two systems, ES-Link Analog and XLR, so that the ES-Link Analog connection can be used to complete the connection to the final stage of signal amplification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUltra-Low Noise Logic Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe logic control section, which controls operation and display, is located in the front panel and is isolated from the amplifier module.

Sound quality can be adjusted without worrying about sound degradation. The tone control can be separately preset for each input source. Treble and bass can be finely adjusted without significantly degrading the original sound of the source by shifting the center frequency of variable bandwidths to a higher\/lower point (14kHz \/63Hz) than usual, assuming a combination with wide-range high-end speakers. Precise control is possible in 0.5dB steps with a maximum range of ±12dB. The middle band (630Hz) can also be utilized as a loudness preset when set to the minus side and used in conjunction with the tone bypass mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-Precision Ball Bearing Control Knobs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume and input selector use the same bearing mechanism as the Grandioso preamp. You can enjoy a smooth, analog feel with no core shake. The large volume\/selector knob, which symbolizes the powerful drive capability of this integrated amplifier, is machined from solid aluminum, sparing no expense. The fine machined texture, which varies from surface to surface, beautifully accentuates the design and enhances the sense of luxury. The volume and input select knob also function as mute and power switches, respectively, and the number of buttons on the front panel has been kept to a minimum in pursuit of a minimalist aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the birth of the flagship Grandioso M1X and S1X amplifiers, the Esoteric amplifier design platform has been completely renewed.\u003cbr\u003eThe M1X monoblock and S1X Class A stereo amplifiers have captivated audiophiles around the world with their transparent, detailed and dynamic sound, and have become the new icons of high-end amplification.\u003cbr\u003eThe power amplifier section of the F-02 follows the circuit design concept of the M1X, with a 120 WPC\/8Ω high-power design.\u003cbr\u003eFor amplifiers, the size of the power supply circuit is the most important point that directly affects the performance. The F-02 is configured with dual monaural power supplies for all stages of the power rectification and smoothing circuits, and are equipped with a huge 940VA EI core power transformer, comparable to that of separate amplifiers. In addition, the \"subtractive aesthetics\" of advanced engineering cultivated in the M1X amplifiers is reflected in every detail of the amplifier design, including a simple and straightforward circuit design for rich harmonic (overtone) reproduction and powerful speaker drive capability through reduced internal impedance. The new F Series is designed to be the pinnacle of quality in terms of drive capability and sound quality, as good as separate power amplifiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSubstantial Power Supply Comparable to a Separate Amplifier\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe power supply is the most important component in realizing a rich sound stage for amplifiers that constantly require large amounts of current, and the F-02 boasts extremely dynamic musical expression thanks to a unique power supply design that incorporates a great deal of Esoteric's expertise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLarge Bare-Mount Power Supply Transformer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F Series uses the largest EI transformer that can be installed. By using a transformer that is much larger than the product originally requires to meet its output power, the F Series is able to follow dynamic changes in the power supply extremely well, resulting in a dynamic and open sound. In addition, suppressing transformer vibration also suppresses current flow. For this reason, the transformer is bare-mounted without a housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePower Rectification Circuit in Dual Mono Configuration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnless the sound source is monaural, the left and right music signals are different. The power rectification circuits are dual mono, independent of the left and right channels, to avoid mutual interference and achieve clear channel separation and resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMultiple Capacitors Connected in Parallel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecial attention is also paid to the power supply rectification system. High quality custom capacitors of Grandioso grade are used. A dual mono and parallel configuration of four 10,000μF capacitors per channel is used. The capacitors are operated in parallel by time difference to stabilize the current charging and discharging to the capacitors, thus ensuring the required large current supply at all times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLess is More\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the F Series, the signal path from the preamp to the power amplifier is as short as possible, and the bipolar transistor 3-parallel push-pull amplifier circuit is remarkably simple.\u003cbr\u003eThe phase compensation circuit is a minimal single-pole configuration, and the output stage is a coil-less design. By minimizing NFB (negative feedback), the circuit enhances the dynamics of the music. The minimalist circuit philosophy allows the harmonics (overtones), which are the most important but easily lost in the signal chain, to be preserved and the music to be reproduced like a real sound.\u003cbr\u003eAmplifiers generate a lot of heat, and internal temperature stability is extremely important. For this reason, we have optimized the location and circuitry of the temperature compensation circuit to stabilize the temperature of the entire amplifier block. This helps to speed up the stabilization of the idle current after the power is turned on and allows the transistors to operate at their best performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLow Impedance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 105μm thick-walled copper conductor is used for the substrate tracks, which are key to internal signal transmission quality. The eight bus bars in the power stage are luxuriously made of 1.0 mm high-purity OFC material. Important wiring from the primary side to the power supply section, drive stage, etc., is connected with ultra-thick cables with screw connections to eliminate connector losses. MOS FET switches without mechanical contacts are used in the speaker output section. Every detail has been carefully designed to reduce internal impedance. As a result, the amplifier is able to handle even large-diameter woofers, and has a driveability (damping factor: 500) that easily reaches the limit of the low-frequency range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMechanical Perfection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo achieve the single design goal of \"reproducing the master sound,\" the F-02 chassis optimally controls all vibrations that affect sound quality. The mechanical engineering of the F-02 is like that of a Formula 1 racing car, with the balance between rigidity and flexibility pushed to the limit. The heavy construction with a total mass of 32 kg, which is unprecedented for an integrated amplifier, shows the fullness and completeness of the product. The enclosure, which requires rigidity, makes extensive use of aluminum blocks to ensure non-resonance. On the other hand, the top panel has a semi-floating structure for an open sound. Esoteric's unique patented isolation foot, which integrates a spike and a saucer, also has a special structure to reduce mechanical stress.

Incorporating all of the preamp and power amp developments from the flagship Grandioso “X” Edition, the new F Series integrated amplifiers deliver outstanding musicality that captures the rich textures of music in a single integrated amplifier. Despite the fact that the F Series is an integrated amplifier, it delivers a thorough quality and performance that will be the envy of all separate amp users. The F Series is the integrated amplifier that owners of Esoteric’s K and N Series digital players have been waiting for, and it pushes the boundaries of integrated amplifier technology.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F-01 has been significantly upgraded from the previous F Series in terms of both functionality and sound quality, incorporating a number of new technologies from the development of the flagship Grandioso C1X preamplifier. The large-scale, balanced dual mono preamp comparable to a separate preamp, comes standard with three ES-Link Analog inputs that allow our proprietary current-based signal input from the Esoteric K\/N Series digital source players for a live listening experience as if monitored directly from a recording studio analog console. The new F Series also features a unique \"Ultra Fidelity Attenuator System\", and the power supply section of the preamplifier has been further upgraded. Other key preamp features include a fully balanced headphone amplifier, dual mono phonostage preamp, and a high-quality 3-band balanced tone control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F-01 can also be expanded into a multi-amplifier system by connecting the S-05 power amplifier to the ES-Link Analog pre-outs. For even higher sound quality, an optional external power supply unit (to be announced) dedicated to the preamp can be connected. This unique design, which seems to contradict the integrated concept, is a testament to the F-01's high expandability and is the best proof that the built-in fully balanced dual mono preamp is designed with an uncompromising emphasis on quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUltra Fidelity Attenuator System\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn preamp design, the amplitude of the audio signal is proportional to the supply voltage of the active attenuator. In other words, a system with a low supply voltage will not allow sufficient amplitude of the audio signal, resulting in suppressed dynamic range and an unfavorable signal-to-noise ratio. The heart of the preamp, the attenuator circuit, features the \"Ultra Fidelity Attenuator System\" used in the Grandioso C1X. This proprietary Esoteric system is designed with a high supply voltage to maximize dynamics and greatly improve the signal-to-noise ratio. In addition, even though it is a stepped attenuator circuit, the 0.1dB\/1,120 steps (more than 10 times the number of steps of a typical preamp) allow for silky smooth and detailed volume adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UFA-1792 stepped attenuator module, is an Esoteric’s proprietary module designed with advanced and super modern process technology. In order to achieve the amazingly fine step of 0.1dB, the myriad of resistors inside are manufactured under the most stringent quality control. Esoteric engineers uncompromisingly examined all materials, circuit patterns, and layout, and created independent power \/ ground signal paths for each circuit block inside the module to achieve high performance and high sound quality, one of the benchmarks of modern preamp module design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePowerful Power Supply That Determines Preamp Quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is no exaggeration to say that the quality of a preamp is determined by the quality of its power supply.\u003cbr\u003eFollowing the philosophy of the Grandioso C1X, the power supply section has a separate power transformer winding and a rectifier board dedicated to the preamp to enhance sonic purity and driving power. In addition, the audio rectification circuit is completely independent of the logic control section to prevent noise contamination. The power rectifier uses our own Grandioso custom capacitors in a parallel configuration. Current can be charged\/discharged to multiple capacitors in a time-differentiated manner, ensuring a stable and clean power supply to the preamp at all times. In addition, although the F-01 is an integrated amplifier, an external power supply (to be released at a later date) can be connected to the built-in preamp, allowing users to enjoy sound quality close to that of the Grandioso C1X, which has a separate power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eES-Link Analog – Our Proprietary Current Signal Transmission\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eES-Link Analog is a unique current transmission method that eliminates the influence of cable impedance and maintains sound fidelity and quality, the most important factors in signal transmission. 3 XLR inputs can be switched between ES-LINK Analog and standard XLR. The pre-outs are also equipped with two systems, ES-Link Analog and XLR, so that the ES-Link Analog connection can be used to complete the connection to the final stage of signal amplification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUltra-Low Noise Logic Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe logic control section, which controls operation and display, is located in the front panel and is isolated from the amplifier module. The connection to the preamp section uses a photocoupler that converts the control signal to an optical signal and transmits it, and isolators are used to provide physical and electrical isolation. In addition, the CPU is completely shut down except during operation, so as not to interfere with the circuits that handle the audio signals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume setting is automatically reset to zero when the power is turned off, and automatically returns to the original setting when the power is turned on, eliminating the need to adjust the volume when the power is turned on or off. Other features include fade-out\/fade-in of the music signal when switching inputs. Our goal was to create a high-quality user interface that is elegant and fun to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLoss-Less Input Switching\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe music signal input switching has been changed from the conventional mechanical relay system to a FET element switch. This eliminates the effects on sound quality caused by the rare metals used in the contact points, the operating noise, and the degradation of sound quality over time that were unavoidable with mechanical relays. The result is a pure tone with the transparency required of a high-end preamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBalanced Dual Mono Headphone Amplifier\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe headphone amplifier is a major evolution from the previous F Series. To respond to new listening styles with exceptional reproduction quality, Esoteric has concentrated its amplifier design technology and wisdom to achieve the highest peak. The circuit design is a fully balanced dual mono design that follows the linestage preamp design, with a balanced output (4-pin XLR) and an unbalanced outputs (6.3mm). With its fully balanced power output of 600mW (into a 32Ω load), this superlative headphone amplifier powerfully drives high impedance headphones with plenty of headroom to spare. The amplifier gain can be also adjustable from 0 to +18dB with 3dB increments to match with the connected headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDual Mono Phonostage Preamp\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F-01 also responds to analog playback with quality, featuring dual mono phonostage preamp (MM\/MC) with independent L\/R circuits. The left and right power supplies are also independent, ensuring perfect channel separation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e3-Band Balanced Tone Control (Treble \/ Middle \/ Bass)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tone control is configured with a balanced dual mono circuit, focusing on the quality as a high-end device. Sound quality can be adjusted without worrying about sound degradation. The tone control can be separately preset for each input source. Treble and bass can be finely adjusted without significantly degrading the original sound of the source by shifting the center frequency of variable bandwidths to a higher\/lower point (14kHz \/63Hz) than usual, assuming a combination with wide-range high-end speakers. Precise control is possible in 0.5dB steps with a maximum range of ±12dB. The middle band (630Hz) can also be utilized as a loudness preset when set to the minus side and used in conjunction with the tone bypass mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHigh-Precision Ball Bearing Control Knobs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume and input selector use the same bearing mechanism as the Grandioso preamp. You can enjoy a smooth, analog feel with no core shake. The large volume\/selector knob, which symbolizes the powerful drive capability of this integrated amplifier, is machined from solid aluminum, sparing no expense. The fine machined texture, which varies from surface to surface, beautifully accentuates the design and enhances the sense of luxury. The volume and input select knob also function as mute and power switches, respectively, and the number of buttons on the front panel has been kept to a minimum in pursuit of a minimalist aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the birth of the flagship Grandioso M1X and S1X amplifiers, the Esoteric amplifier design platform has been completely renewed.\u003cbr\u003eThe M1X monoblock and S1X Class A stereo amplifiers have captivated audiophiles around the world with their transparent, detailed and dynamic sound, and have become the new icons of high-end amplification.\u003cbr\u003eThe power amplifier section of the F-01 follows the circuit design concept of the S1X, with a 30 WPC\/8Ω Class A design.\u003cbr\u003eFor amplifiers, the size of the power supply circuit is the most important point that directly affects the performance. The F-01 is configured with dual monaural power supplies for all stages of the power rectification and smoothing circuits, and are equipped with a huge 940VA EI core power transformer, comparable to that of separate amplifiers. In addition, the \"subtractive aesthetics\" of advanced engineering cultivated in the S1X amplifiers is reflected in every detail of the amplifier design, including a simple and straightforward circuit design for rich harmonic (overtone) reproduction and powerful speaker drive capability through reduced internal impedance. The new F Series is designed to be the pinnacle of quality in terms of drive capability and sound quality, as good as separate power amplifiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSubstantial Power Supply Comparable to a Separate Amplifier\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe power supply is the most important component in realizing a rich sound stage for amplifiers that constantly require large amounts of current, and the F-01 boasts extremely dynamic musical expression thanks to a unique power supply design that incorporates a great deal of Esoteric's expertise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLarge Bare-Mount Power Supply Transformer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F Series uses the largest EI transformer that can be installed. By using a transformer that is much larger than the product originally requires to meet its output power, the F Series is able to follow dynamic changes in the power supply extremely well, resulting in a dynamic and open sound. In addition, suppressing transformer vibration also suppresses current flow. For this reason, the transformer is bare-mounted without a housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePower Rectification Circuit in Dual Mono Configuration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnless the sound source is monaural, the left and right music signals are different. The power rectification circuits are dual mono, independent of the left and right channels, to avoid mutual interference and achieve clear channel separation and resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMultiple Capacitors Connected in Parallel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecial attention is also paid to the power supply rectification system. High quality custom capacitors of Grandioso grade are used. A dual mono and parallel configuration of four 10,000μF capacitors per channel is used. The capacitors are operated in parallel by time difference to stabilize the current charging and discharging to the capacitors, thus ensuring the required large current supply at all times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLess is More\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the F Series, the signal path from the preamp to the power amplifier is as short as possible, and the bipolar transistor 3-parallel push-pull amplifier circuit is remarkably simple.\u003cbr\u003eThe phase compensation circuit is a minimal single-pole configuration, and the output stage is a coil-less design. By minimizing NFB (negative feedback), the circuit enhances the dynamics of the music. The minimalist circuit philosophy allows the harmonics (overtones), which are the most important but easily lost in the signal chain, to be preserved and the music to be reproduced like a real sound.\u003cbr\u003eAmplifiers generate a lot of heat, and internal temperature stability is extremely important. For this reason, we have optimized the location and circuitry of the temperature compensation circuit to stabilize the temperature of the entire amplifier block. This helps to speed up the stabilization of the idle current after the power is turned on and allows the transistors to operate at their best performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLow Impedance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 105μm thick-walled copper conductor is used for the substrate tracks, which are key to internal signal transmission quality. The eight bus bars in the power stage are luxuriously made of 1.0 mm high-purity OFC material. Important wiring from the primary side to the power supply section, drive stage, etc., is connected with ultra-thick cables with screw connections to eliminate connector losses. MOS FET switches without mechanical contacts are used in the speaker output section. Every detail has been carefully designed to reduce internal impedance. As a result, the amplifier is able to handle even large-diameter woofers, and has an excellent driveability (damping factor: 500) that easily reaches the limit of the low-frequency range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMechanical Perfection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo achieve the single design goal of \"reproducing the master sound,\" the F-01 chassis optimally controls all vibrations that affect sound quality. The mechanical engineering of the F-01 is like that of a Formula 1 racing car, with the balance between rigidity and flexibility pushed to the limit. The heavy construction with a total mass of 32 kg, which is unprecedented for an integrated amplifier, shows the fullness and completeness of the product. The enclosure, which requires rigidity, makes extensive use of aluminum blocks to ensure non-resonance. On the other hand, the top panel has a semi-floating structure for an open sound. Esoteric's unique patented isolation foot, which integrates a spike and a saucer, also has a special structure to reduce mechanical stress.

Compared to the conventional voltage transmission, it transmits approximately 100 times more current, making it less susceptible to noise and sending the full energy of the music to the amplifier.\u003cbr\u003eAlso, it is not affected by the impedance of the interconnects running between the preamp and amplifier, so it maintains a perfect integrity between the output signal of the preamp and the input signal to the amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eES-Link Analog – Esoteric’s unique current transmission\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eES-Link Analog is Esoteric’s proprietary current transmission method. By connecting devices that support this method, it is possible to reproduce the sound as if it were being played directly from an analog console in a recording studio. The sonic signature of ES-Link Analog is powerful, live and dimensional. In conventional voltage transmission, the output impedance of the source device is low, and the input impedance of the target device is high. In other words, the current required for signal transmission tends to be kept low.\u003cbr\u003eAlso, due to the resistance component (impedance) of the transmission path (interconnect cable), the voltage of the transmitted signal is attenuated by the level calculated by Ohm's law (voltage = current × resistance) when delivered to the target device. Therefore, a longer the cable causes increased resistance which has significant affects on that signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn contrast, in current transmission, the output impedance of the source device is high and the input impedance of the input device is low, resulting in a \"High out, Low in\" circuit, and the current level is maintained higher during signal transmission than in voltage transmission, allowing a powerful audio signal delivery.\u003cbr\u003eAlso, in current transmission, the current level output from the source device always matches the one on the target device. Imagine using a hose to send water from a faucet to a bucket. As long as there are no holes in the hose, the same amount of water from the faucet will always flow to the bucket, regardless of the length of the hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimilarly, if the cable that serves as the transmission path is not divided into multiple paths, all current from the source device will be delivered to the target device, and the current values flowing will always be the same, even if the transmission path is longer. This advantage of accurate transmission of even the smallest signals is evident from the fact that current transmission is widely used in measuring instruments that measure precise signals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConventional voltage transmission impedance of the Esoteric products is designed several tens of ohms on out-going circuits and around 100k ohms on in-coming circuits. In contrast, the ES-Link Analog out-going\/in-coming circuits are designed approximately 1kΩ on the out-going circuit, and 0Ω on the in-coming circuit.\u003cbr\u003eIf we focus on the current value that flows when transmitting audio signals, the current level of ES-Link Analog transmission when transmitting audio signals at the same level as normal voltage transmission is approximately 100 times higher than the current level flowing in voltage transmission.

However, the signal paths in the S1X are designed to be as short as possible, and the circuit is surprisingly simple. The clear sound quality is supported by the “subtractive aesthetics,” so to speak, created by the crystallization of advanced engineering.\u003cbr\u003eIn general, a Class-A amplifiers generate a lot of heat, and internal temperature stability is extremely important. For this reason, the S1X optimizes the position and circuitry of the temperature compensation circuit to stabilize the temperature of the entire amplifier block. This contributes to high quality sound because it speeds up the stabilization of the idling current after power-on and allows the amplifier elements to operate with their best characteristics.\u003cbr\u003eThe phase compensation circuit is a simple 1-pole configuration, and the final stage is coil-less, while the NFB (negative feedback) is kept to a minimum to enhance the dynamism of the music. The minimalist circuit philosophy allows the harmonics (overtones) that are most important to music, but are easily lost, to be retained and rendered expressively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDepth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the simplicity of the circuit, the S1X has been designed to eliminate any compromise in the quality of reproduction by using a dual monaural configuration from the input stage to the final stage. The components are among the largest in their class, and the board pattern, which employs a 105µm thick copper foil in key components, and ultra-thick gauge cables with connector connections eliminated as much as possible, are full of the boldness and power that is typical of amplifiers. Particularly, the seven busbars in the drive stage are made of luxurious 1.0 mm thick high-purity OFC material, and MOS FET switches without mechanical contacts are employed in the speaker output stage. The reduction in internal impedance provides a powerful grip even on woofers with larger diameters, and the driving force reaches the low-frequency limit point with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTexture\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S1X is not only a powerful unit, but one that also delicately creates a gradation between climax and silence. The audio signal is received by a newly designed balanced input amplifier circuit independent of each input stage and transmitted to the amplification stage in a balanced configuration to ensure noise-free and stable amplification. FET switches are also employed for all switching positions in the audio signal path, including input switching, to minimize tonal coloration.

The system is expandable to a mono-block amplifier by deploying two S1Xs, depending on the matched speakers and the operating environment. A mode selector supports conventional stereo mode and bi-amp mode for multi-way speakers with separate HF\/LF inputs. You can freely customize the configuration of the Class-A amplifier system of your dreams according to the quality and characteristics of the sound you desire. Even if you use multiple amplifiers, the power on\/off is controllable from the Grandioso C1X preamplifier via DC trigger*, allowing sophisticated use suitable for high-end applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*3.5mm monaural mini plug cable for connection is sold separately.

This means that a single unit can be used as a monaural power amplifier with two speaker outputs. The output power is the same as when one S1X is deployed in normal stereo mode (50W\/8Ω), but as shown in the figure, the HF\/LF units of the speaker can be driven by separate power amplifier circuits, enabling a more pure sound of a multi-way system speaker.

On the other hand, the top panel, which needs to be free of vibration for an open sound, has a semi-floating structure.

However, since the volume is defined by switching resistors, the circuit scale becomes too large for smooth volume adjustment. In contrast, another method, “variable resistor (potentiometer)” allows smooth, step-less volume adjustment. However, the signal path is longer, and the potential of deterioration of crosstalk between the left and right channels and deterioration of contact points exists due to aging.

Imagine using a hose to send water from a faucet to a bucket. As long as there are no holes in the hose, the same amount of water from the faucet will always flow to the bucket, regardless of the length of the hose.\u003cbr\u003eSimilarly, if the cable that serves as the transmission path is not divided into multiple paths, all current from the source device will be delivered to the target device, and the current values flowing will always be the same, even if the transmission path is longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis advantage of accurate transmission of even the smallest signals is evident from the fact that current transmission is widely used in measuring instruments that measure precise signals.\u003cbr\u003eConventional voltage transmission impedance of the Esoteric products is designed several tens of ohms on out-going circuits and around 100k ohms on in-coming circuits. In contrast, the ES-Link Analog out-going\/in-coming circuits are designed approximately 1kΩ on the out-going circuit, and 0Ω on the in-coming circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf we focus on the current value that flows when transmitting audio signals, the current level of ES-Link Analog transmission when transmitting audio signals at the same level as normal voltage transmission is approximately 100 times higher than the current level flowing in voltage transmission. Consequently, the high current level allows for the full energy of the music to be delivered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInput amplifier\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe input amplifier section, as well as the output amplifier section, is configured with complete dual mono\/dual balanced circuits with independent left and right power transformers and rectifier circuits. Input signals are transmitted without loss by using Esoteric-HCLD buffer amplifiers for signal transfer from the input amplifier to the output amplifier. For the input switching, a switch with an FET element is employed instead of the conventional mechanical relay system. The FET element allows 12A instantaneous current and 3A constant current,and minimizes current loss.\u003cbr\u003eThe conventional mechanical relays add sonic coloration by using rare earth materials at their contact points, emit operation noises, and wear over time – the FET elements are totally free from these negative factors, sound neutral and are reliable all the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUltra-low noise logic control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe logic control section, which controls operation and display, is shielded and housed in the front panel, isolated from the audio circuits. A photo-coupler that converts the control signal to optical signal for transmission is employed for connection to the preamplifier section to ensure physical and electrical isolation.\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, by completely shutting down the control circuitry except during operation, low-noise operation is achieved without affecting the audio circuitry. We improved operability by having the built-in program automatically lower the volume level to zero when the preamplifier is turned off, and automatically restore the level when the power is turned back on. We also aimed for a high-end operability that is full of elegance and a pleasure to use, such as fading out\/fading in the music signal when switching inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChassis construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo achieve the unique design goal of “reproducing the master sound,” the C1X solo chassis optimally controls all vibrations that can affect sound quality.

Its sides are magnetized so that the S and N poles are aligned alternately. The platter itself is non-magnetic aluminum, but a soft-iron \"Induction Wheel\" shaped like a strobe is mounted on the bottom of the side opposite the driver and is magnetized.

The Magne-Float system reduces the load on the bearing to approximately 4kg, and contributes to quiet rotation by achieving both silky-smooth rotation with high rotational inertia and reduced friction level in an ideal manner. In addition, inverted bearings are employed to bring the fulcrum of the platter closer to the surface of the vinyl disc and increase the stability of rotation. The platter surface, which is focused on beautiful appearance, is carefully finished one-by-one by skilled craftsmen in the final process to increase surface smoothness and create a beautiful spin pattern that resembles craftwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAccurate synchronous rotation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlong with the non-contact vibration isolation, one of the greatest advantages of the MagneDrive mechanism is the precise rotational accuracy of the platter. Magnetic driver and platter, – these two components, like two gears of different sizes, always rotate precisely in a constant ratio.

The motor unit is isolated from the main unit and thoroughly controlled by mounting on a heavyweight 6mm-thick brass bottom chassis. The motor driver circuit uses a high-precision 10MHz clock to accurately generate the drive waveforms that drive the motors. Furthermore, by supplying extremely pure DC from an independent power supply unit, the transmission of unwanted vibrations to the motor unit is minimized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e10MHz master clock sync ready\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe motor unit is equipped with an external 10MHz clock input.
