ESOTERIC F-07

ESOTERIC F-07

The new integrated amplifier F-07 goes to occupy the lowest step of the range Esoteric. The Circuit is fully dual mono and balanced, Phono MM/MC stage included.

The output power is 2 x 100W on 8Ω, 2x170W on 4Ω,  peak current up to ±30A and a reduced rate of counterreaction to the minimum. The parallel double push-pull configuration with LIDSC circuit (Low Impedance Drive Stage Coupling comes from the Grandioso line.

In the power station is housed an EI transformer from 633, combined with 40,000μF per channel capacitors. The QVCS (Quad Volume Control System) volume control is based on a network of resistors divided into four sections. The headset stage is able to effectively pilot also high impedance models

The construction care extends to the mechanical aspect, characterized by a steel frame optimized with 3D technology, able to isolate the circuits from the vibrations thanks to the 4 Pinpoint feet. The casing is made of aluminium turned from the full, while the interior is divided into separate blocks for the different circuit sections. THE'Esoteric F-07 can manage a turntable with MC/MM cartridges and five line sources, including a XLR and HT Bypass balance. The balanced main input and the RCA output also allow you to use the pre stage separately from the final one. The optional OP-DAC1 card adds optical/coaxial S/PDIF inputs and a USB-B port, to play DSD 11.2 MHz and PCM/FLAC/ALAC/AIFF 24 bit/384 kHz files.
