Soulnote E-2 Ver 2 Phono Stage

Soulnote E-2 v2

Soulnote E-2 v2 is a reference phono equalizer that supports MM, MC, and DS Audio optical cartridges in one chassis, delivering wide bandwidth, low noise, and precise EQ behavior.

Design and engineering

Fully balanced, non NFB discrete stages avoid large phase compensation networks, preserving rise time and natural texture. Twin mono power distribution, careful grounding, and Series 3 style mechanical control reduce hum and microphonic effects that veil fine detail.

Front panel loading and curve selections are quick to access and clearly indicated. The unit remembers settings per input so you can swap arms or cartridges without reconfiguring each session.

The E-2 v2 is a strong match for neutral to transparent line stages and integrated amplifiers. It complements low noise turntables and rigid, well damped arms where cartridge energy is managed effectively.

What distinguishes it

True multi standard operation with optical cartridge support in a fully balanced, non NFB topology that emphasizes speed, texture, and quiet backgrounds.

Who it is for

Vinyl listeners who want one phono hub to handle multiple arms and cartridges at a reference level, including DS Audio optical systems.
