Which meets roughly the German retail price points for this two Phonostages The Soulnote E-2 is better than Allnic 5500 Phono, more in the region of the Allnic 6500 Phono, Which is different to Allnic, which prefers carts meeting the Allnic Step Up ratios, so high impedance carts, like Benz LP-s and Soundsmith have not worked with Allnic. It is playing with no hustle with all cartridges I choose. The Soulnote E-2 is playing so well, that I just forgot the unit. Now I will wait for some more hours of music listening to understand the Soulnote E-2 even better. the Anna still plays like an Ortofon cart with all the character you would expect. The last cart connected is the Ortofon Anna, which shows, that the E-2 can handle more analytic carts as well. The tone is more to the warmer and solid side, than to thin and analytical, the E-2 sounds in a very positive way like a very good tube Phonostage.Īs the E-2 shall like low impedance carts, I do have a 1,5ohm TechDAS (my sonic lab OEM) cart connected, as well as an old low output Ortofon SL15 MKII.īoth carts do work very fine with the E-2. My first listening impressions are very positive and do meet my expectations from the fair performance I had in my mind.

It looks like, that I have to install a DS Audio cart sooner or later to connect all 4 turntables. The manufacturers philosophy ( can be found on the manufacturer url) behind the E-2 is a long and interesting read and gave me some inspiration to understand audio component design better.Ĭonnecting the E-2 showed me, that one of the phono inputs is for DS-Audio carts only, which means, than I can use currently only 3 of the inputs. The unit comes with interchangeable feets, I have chosen the classic spike version.

The sound reminds me to my beloved phasemation gear, but with 4 inputs plus full power xls outputs.Ĭompared to my former Allnic the Soulnote is a heavy 20kg beast, like a huge integrated amplifier. On one of the small local high end fairs I became aware of Soulnote and liked the presentation a lot. The last year an Allnic H-5000 was in heavy use, but as 8m of interconnect to the preamp need to be driven, I started to look for a phonostage with xlr connections and 4 inputs plus a powerful outputstage to drive long cables.
the most of them are a kind of vintage, like Kenwood L-07, Basis Debut or Technics SL-1000mkii In the front line of my listening room are 4 turntables placed,
Since a view days I am enjoying the Soulnote E-2 phonostage.
