Phono Stage SoulNote E-2, the only one that accepts DS Audio Optical cartridges and more..

Hello to all, I’m not not sure if there’s a lot of people in the west that knows about the existence of the SoulNote E-2 phono stage from Japan, appears to be an amazing phono stage, the only one in the world that accepts DS Audio optical cartridges, + MM and MC, lots of configurations for MM and MC cartridges too, and various eq curves that are not RIAA.

Very interesting stuff from Japan, can’t find too much info from users in english, just some reviews and informations on asian audio websites.

If someone already listened the SoulNote integrated amplifiers that also appears to be amazingly engineered, and this super phono stage, please share your thoughts.

Here’s some links with with some infos:
