My new Phonostage arrives. Esoteric E-02. Offers three inputs (one must be XLR), two outputs. Plenty of loading options.

Thanks. This E-02 replaces the two box AVID phonostage which only had two inputs, I need 3 (Lyra Atlas SL, Miyajima Mono, ZYX Universe Premium II).

I love the XP17 Pass for a modest price. The Pass XP27 is incredibly good too. This E-02 for a single box is so far, sounding great. It’s heavy.

In the store we have the Pass XP27, Boulder 508, some less expensive Sim Audio’s, Rega’s, Avid’s and the mighty VAC Statement Phono.

For the features/functions, I like the XP27 or this E-02.

I have used the E-02 at home and it's an excellent sounding unit.
 
The E-02 Phonostage is breaking in nicely and has far surpassed my expectations.

Big vocals
Quiet
Fabulous transients and separation
Dynamic
