“...there is no question that the ES-001 is a brilliant and successful bit of engineering…If lifelike pitch and timbre, improved image focus, clarified sound staging, and higher resolution are prime considerations—and how could they not be?—an LP lover could not put $6000 to better use than by purchasing an ES-001. It is a stroke of genius (and, quite appropriately, one of 2022’s TAS Products of the Year).”
