"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. "

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 "What I did become increasingly aware of during my time with the Levinson No.326S was the fact that "neutrality" is not merely an absence of aberration but a positive virtue. I could hear more deeply into the mix, but without detail being spotlit or unnaturally thrown forward. Subtle details were presented with greatercontrast against a quieter ground in all of these recordings: the reverberation tails that follow Joe Morello's kick drum highlights in his drum soloin "Take 5" from Dave Brubeck's Time Out (SACD, Sony 7464-65122-6)" - John Arkinson - Stereophile Jan 2006

After 6 months of testing John compared it to a host of other high end preamps and gave it a glowing recommendation saying that it offered all he wanted from a preamp.

Ayre Acoustics C-5xeMP Universal Disk Player "...but for the resolutely two-channel audiophile, the C-5xeMP represents one of the most seductive choices available today." - Paul Miller Apr 2007 HiFi News

Stereophile Extract: " 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, pure music at its best.

The Diablo sounded just beautiful in my system. It was also perfect in operation, with some unique features -- such as that wonderful touch-panel faceplate. All of this makes for an easy and hearty recommendation. It may or may not be built by wizards in some far-off land, but the Gryphon Diablo is a real product that any audiophile who seeks magic from his audio system should fully explore.’
Jeff Fritz, Soundstage

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-60Stereophile Class A+ Rated Universal Player gets an Upgrade!
Dave Robinson, the editor in chief at www.positive-feedback.com  wrote..." "Blow me down!" said Popeye—and so do I about the Teac Esoteric DV-60. Over the past year, I've lived with this superb universal player, and have gotten to try it with just about everything you could feed it on an optical disc. It has been flawless in operation, is impeccable in ergonomics and fittings, and is glorious for both video and audio playback.

Gryphon PoseidonThere are Loudspeakers and then there is the Gryphon Poseidon, In our opinion the best loudspeaker system in the world bar none.

I could say the Poseidon's are awesome and amazing, but more than that they are truly majestic and magical. So often the quality of a product is overstated by reviewers in order to make a magazine review seem more interesting. It would be most difficult to overstate the sonic abilities of the Poseidon.
