Angeboten wird „E-2 ver. 2“ von Soulnote als Neugerät aus der Kategorie „Phonoverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 1170773720 endet am 10.07.2026 um 06:10 Uhr.
Against the typical used market for this model in EUR, the asking price is on the high side: it sits above the 75th percentile of €7,945 and well above the median €7,315, so I’d call it ambitious rather than fair. The fact pattern here does not support a bargain read; at €8,490, it is materially above the recent comparable range anchored by the two EU listings.
That said, this is still a respected piece of kit if you want a serious high-end preamp/amp-stage with the brand’s usual strengths: refinement, transparency, and a very “grown-up” presentation that tends to scale well with the rest of the system. It becomes more interesting if the unit is pristine, fully boxed, and comes from careful ownership with all accessories, but at this level I’d want standout condition or extras to justify the premium.
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.
