E.A.R. (ESOTERIC AUDIO RESEARCH) YOSHINO

Tim de Paravicini design - Hand Made in England

Production - All products are assembled at our production facility in Cambridgeshire, England which enables us to have full control over production quality. Production engineers are highly familiar with the products with the average experience exceeding 10 years with EAR Yoshino. Each product is built from start to finish by a single engineer, fabricating a personal touch to the product that is closer to reassembling craftsmanship than the anonymous mass produced objects we have all become too familiar with. EAR’s high-end products are built from the finest materials and supplies possible. We strive to source parts locally as it enables us to partner closely with suppliers and have tight control on quality, all while reducing our transportation impact.

Reliability - Valves or Vaccum tubes can be fickle things but with our extensive experience we believe we have a better understanding than most. When designed carefully they can produce a great deal of joy from their output whilst maintaining high reliability. Allowing users to leverage the great sound they produce without the drawbacks normally associated with valves. Being a mature developed technology, they are much more timeless that you would normally associate with electronics. We like to think they are more related to mechanical products like a finely crafted swiss watch.

Studio Influence / Recording each sound - Our belief is that recording sound is as important as its reproduction. Working closely with music production that includes the Exchange (London) and Mobile Fidelity (San Francisco), gives us a deep understanding of the sounds that are needed to be recreated. Reciprocity, with these studios, we aim to help extract the maximum possible from their setup that gives some of the luscious sounds you have probably already experienced from their work.

Acknowledging our work with music production, all of our equipment has been designed for the highest demands of this environment that include high-end audio quality but also robust reliability.

In Action - Some of musical talent that use our equipment include Pink Floyd, Ringo Starr, Kate Bush, Gary Barlow and Bob Ludwig.

EAR YOSHINO PHONOBOX – TUBE PHONO PREAMPLIFIER

The EAR-Yoshino 'Phonobox' replaces the beloved 834P model.

The 834P phono was widely recognised as the absolute reference at its price and far, far beyond.

To build on that success and reputation, EAR-Yoshino have been busy at work for a very long time, designing, testing and refining the new Phonobox. Only when every box had been ticked, EAR-Yoshino launched this beautiful new high performance machine. The Phonobox builds on the strengths of the 834P. The performance is stunningly good - quiet and refined with a liquid midrange, superb bandwidth plus great dynamics. The Phonobox is compatible with MM and MC type cartridges (switchable) and has enough gain to ensure that even very low output moving coil designs can play happily with the Phonobox. The exterior design has also changed, certainly bringing a sleek new modernised look to the Phonobox.

You can order the Phonobox, in black or chrome finish, with or without a smooth action volume control. The addition of the volume control allows you to directly drive a power amplifier.

Replacing the popular 834P, EAR's new PhonoBox is still tube-powered and comes with volume options.
