Angeboten wird „E-2 V2“ von Soulnote als Neugerät aus der Kategorie „Phonoverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 1752634384 endet am 14.08.2026 um 12:52 Uhr.
With no newer generations supplanting the E-2 V2, this listing hits at an opportune moment—SoulNote's flagship integrated remains a current benchmark without successor pressure.
At €8,490 new, the asking price aligns closely with the used market median of €8,442 (from 22 comparable EUR listings, ranging €4,504–€8,443), making it fair rather than a steal or overreach. Check the amp's power supply caps for leakage, a known SoulNote weak spot after 3–5 years, and verify the stock remote, manual, and original box are included—replacements are scarce. Probe service history too, as early V2 units occasionally needed relay tweaks. Solid buy if pristine.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Soulnote is a Japanese high-end audio manufacturer established in 2004 by former Marantz Japan engineers under the parent company CSR, Inc., headquartered in Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. The brand emerged from deep expertise in professional audio development, with Chief Sound Manager Hideki Kato bringing decades of experience from legendary amplifier projects at NEC and Philips. This heritage positions Soulnote as a brand rooted in serious engineering pedigree, though operating as a relatively boutique player with approximately 50 employees.
Soulnote specializes primarily in amplifiers and digital-to-analog converters, with a distinctive focus on integrated and mono amplifiers built entirely in Japan. The brand is particularly known for its zero negative feedback circuit design philosophy, a purist approach that sets it apart from mainstream manufacturers. Their product line includes models such as the A-2 integrated amplifier and various DAC offerings, all designed with an emphasis on dynamic performance and waveform accuracy.
Positioned firmly in the high-end segment, Soulnote occupies a niche boutique space within the audiophile market. The brand has cultivated a dedicated following among listeners who prioritize listening-based design methodology over conventional measurement standards—a philosophy that generates both passionate advocacy and skepticism within the audio community. With international distribution networks and approximately two decades of market presence, Soulnote maintains credibility among discerning enthusiasts, though it remains less established than major high-end manufacturers in terms of global recognition and support infrastructure.
