Soulnote E-1 v2 Phono
• Overview – The Soulnote E-1 v2 Phono, released in 2022, is a solid-state MM/MC phono preamplifier featuring a fully balanced, non-negative-feedback analogue design for exceptionally transparent and dynamic vinyl playback.
• Pure Analogue Circuitry – Employing Soulnote’s proprietary non-negative-feedback topology, the Soulnote E-1 v2 Phono preserves low-level musical information while delivering outstanding transient speed, natural tonal balance, and ultra-low background noise.
• Flexible Cartridge Matching – The Soulnote E-1 v2 Phono provides adjustable gain and loading options for both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges, ensuring optimal compatibility and performance across a wide range of turntable systems.
New Type-R Circuit
The output amplifier incorporates the “New Type-R Circuit” developed for SOULNOTE’s flagship phono equalizer E-3. The dedicated power supply for the optical cartridge also employs the same discrete non-NFB regulator found in higher-end models. This forms the source of its organic and warm sound.

SoulNote E-2 v2 Phono
• Overview – The SoulNote E-2 v2 Phono, released in 2022, is a solid-state MM/MC phono preamplifier featuring a fully balanced, non-negative-feedback analogue design for reference-quality vinyl playback and exceptional musical realism.
• Non-Negative-Feedback Design – Employing SoulNote’s proprietary non-negative-feedback circuit topology, the SoulNote E-2 v2 Phono preserves delicate analogue information, delivering outstanding transient response, ultra-low noise, and exceptional harmonic integrity.
• Reference Vinyl Performance – The SoulNote E-2 v2 Phono offers highly configurable cartridge loading and gain settings, producing expansive soundstaging, lifelike dynamics, and remarkable detail retrieval from both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges.
New Type-R circuit for optical cartridges
The analogue circuit for the optical cartridge incorporates the fully balanced, non-NFB “New Type-R Circuit.” This is also employed in SOULNOTE’s flagship phono equalizer E-3. The equalizer element is constructed using a differential emitter bypass circuit. This has succeeded in significantly reducing the circuit impedance. “New Type-R Circuit” is electrically stress-free, without requiring phase compensation or bandwidth limiting. This fully exploits the benefits of the optical cartridge, liberated from the constraints of coil weight, magnetic circuit mass, and inductive resistance. The combination of the photoelectric system’s excellent transient response and the non-NFB design creates an overwhelmingly vivid and intensely lifelike musical space.
XLR connector for the power-isolated cable
Compatible with the power-isolated cable adopted in SOULNOTE’s flagship phono equalizer E-3. By separating the signal and LED power supply, it maximizes the benefits of the optical cartridge.

SoulNote is a Japanese high-end audio manufacturer established with a clear philosophy of minimising signal interference and preserving musical energy at every stage of the audio chain. Emerging from Japan’s precision engineering culture, the brand focuses on non-feedback circuit design, simplified signal paths, and mechanical integrity, aiming to deliver sound that is immediate, dynamic, and emotionally engaging rather than overly processed.
SoulNote amplifiers, DACs, and source components are engineered with an emphasis on discrete circuitry, independent power regulation, and vibration control. These design choices are rooted in fundamental electrical principles rather than short product cycles, which makes pre-owned SoulNote equipment particularly relevant. Well-maintained pre-owned units continue to perform at a high level, offering transparency, speed, and tonal balance that integrate confidently into modern high-resolution systems.
Across Singapore, Malaysia, and Southeast Asia, SoulNote has gained recognition among audiophiles seeking Japanese engineering with a strong focus on musical realism and long-term ownership. On SoundTribeAsia, SoulNote equipment — new and pre-owned — is offered by verified dealers, providing transparent listings, clear condition reporting, and the assurance of purchasing through a trusted regional marketplace rather than fragmented individual dealer sites.
