Grandioso C1X solo

All sounds naturally come to life and resound on a boundless background of silence.
A gem of preamplifier created by the wisdom of ESOTERIC

It brings out the best in each piece of equipment that makes up the system, bringing an exceptional experience that eliminates the existence of the audio system in a pleasant sense of unity with the music, – It is the most important role of the preamplifier as the command center of the audio system.

The C1X is the flagship model of ESOTERIC's preamplifiers. It bears the proud ESOTERIC trademark "Grandioso". The Grandioso C1X is a reference standard for the next generation, featuring a carefully designed dual balanced circuit, a complete dual mono configuration, a powerful buffer amplifier and power supply circuit to drive the power amplifiers, and ES-LINK Analog current transmission that challenges the limits of fidelity. It is a flagship preamplifier that incorporates all of ESOTERIC's wisdom and numerous technological innovations.

The Grandioso C1X "solo" edition is housed in an integrated chassis without changing the internal circuit configuration of the original C1X, as well as its five independent power transformer configurations for each circuit block, achieving an elegant and beautiful size form factor while maintaining the C1X’s signature sound.
