Beyond expectation, this cable has transformed my analog playback. It is my new reference for what my record player is capable of, and as such, it earns my highest recommendation..."

By Alfred Kainz | 23 July, 2019 | Read more

Thomas Schmidt of hifitest.de wrote:
"...in addition to the deep and dynamically convincing bass, there is the highest precision at the other end of the audible spectrum and a fine hand for the slightest nuances in the playing of the overtones of an instrument.

The E2 SE amplifier is fully competitive in this area and should convince many serious audiophiles that vacuum tubes are no longer necessary for the ultimate in warmth, texture, purity and correctness. The Valvet E2 SE’s ability to 'listen in' to a voice or instrument and allow the listener to really hear the intimacy of a performance is state of the art, and perfectly delivered..."
