"If you want the best, the ESOTERIC X-01 is a good place to start. It is so far beyond what we are accustomed to hearing in the playback realm that words do not do it justice. "

About Esoteric

"In the pursuit of excellence it is necessary to set aside perceived limitations and obstacles, apply all available resources and eliminate compromise at any cost.  This is the design goal for all ESOTERIC products.  To simply build the best products we know how to build; products that respond with absolute precision and sonic realism. 

While ESOTERIC products may not be for everyone, their value to the truly dedicated performance lover is beyond measure. Whether your passion is two-channel audio, multi-channel audio, the home theater experience or dazzling video reproduction, ESOTERIC offers amazing solutions.

Esoteric technologies are not based around improvements in design.  Esoteric technologies are the summation of fresh ideas and uncompromised goals.  The Esoteric design teams use a principle of technological fusion.  The absolute best in mechanical, electronic, acoustic and visual design elements fused into superior audio products.  There is a synergy between design elements that culminates in products worthy of the name "ESOTERIC".   

Esoteric has been delivering the finest audio components to the most discerning listeners for nearly 40 years.  All the components used in building the VRDS - NEO mechanism, Digital to Analog converters, CD players, multi-players and other electronics are hand selected, matched and graded to combine into a single synergistic audio component.  From the van den Hul matched-crystal silver coated copper wire used extensively in the signal path of our products to the patent pending quenched steel tri-stabilized pin-point feet, there is no compromise.

The one, never altered objective in ESOTERIC product development is......... The passion is The Performance.

Mark Levinson 326S Baby version of the Ref 32 Pre-amp at a reasonable cost of £6,995. Like most technologies the benefits of the research for the reference products trickle down into more affordable products like the 326s Pre-amp. You get alot of the quality of its bigger brother, providing a jump in the quality available at this price.

Ayre Acoustics C-5xe Universal Disk Player Stereophile Extract: "It ought to be fairly obvious that I found the Ayre C-5xe more than satisfactory. I didn't expect it to disappoint, but I was unprepared for just how much it delighted me. I've heard a lot of impressive audio components over the years, but I've heard very few that afforded me greater musical pleasure or sent me on as many voyages of musical discovery through discs I thought I knew well." - Wes Phillips, July, 2005

Gryphon Diablo The ultimate reference integrated amplifier at £6100. The Gryphon sonic magic in a reasonable sized and georgeous case, you must hear this as it puts most pre power combo's to shame, pure music at its best.

Brinkmann LaGrange turntableThe Brinkmann LaGrange turntable is without a doubt the best source component I have ever had the chance to enjoy over an extended period of time. It represents a level of perfection and emotional connection to music that I have never heard before. - Danny Kaey extract from Positive Feedback

Teac Esoteric DV-50SThe Esoteric DV-50 is the most fun you can have with digital music playback short of the dCS trio reviewed by Michael Fremer in April 2003 (Vol.26 No.4). Given that the dCS gear costs about six times as much as the DV-50, the Esoteric is a screaming bargain, especially considering its hyper-advanced technology, bulletproof build, and exceptional sound. You can even play movies on it. - Stereophile Extract

ProAc D100 The imposing new Response D100 takes on the mantle of flagship model from our legendary Response Four, which has delighted discerning audiophiles for the last twelve years.

The D100's produce stunning music, effortlessly. The enhanced sensitivity extracts the tiniest detail from any recording without brightness or exaggeration. Greater bandwidth creates a huge soundstage, drawing in the listener and creating a concert hall experience, where the loudspeakers seem to melt from the scene..
