RRP £47,500
The Esoteric Grandioso C1X sits at the very top of the Esoteric range. It is a fully balanced 2-box Line stage Pre-amplifier. The two large chassis allow a true dual mono construction. Single-ended inputs and outputs are available on RCA and XLR connectors. The Esoteric Grandioso C1X is split into two large boxes. One is the power supply and the other the pre-amplifier itself. The power supply weighs 29kg and contains no fewer than 4 toroidal power transformers. The power supply contains two completely independent channels from two main inputs to two large umbilical cables on the output. Using multiple separate linear power supplies for each section gives this unit superb audio performance. Each transformer is mounted on a vibration-isolating mount.
The main head unit weighs a further 20kg The Audio input and output circuits are carefully shielded within their own screened enclosures. Left and right channels use their own separate circuit boards. Volume can be controlled in 1120 0.1dB steps giving precise control and perfect channel matching even at low volume levels. The C1X also benefits from dedicated current ES Link connections which give much improved performance over standard voltage-driven connections.
