The Tube MK II Line stage
$18,400
‘The Tube' represents the heart of EINSTEIN's current lineup of innovative audio components. Not a remake of legendary vintage architectures, ‘The Tube' is instead based on a radical new concept full of novel ideas and proprietary execution. It appropriates the highest potential of tube technology while simultaneously insisting on uncompromising test bench performance. For Roland Kraft of Image and Holger Barkse of Stereo (two popular German audio magazines), ‘The Tube' combined the very best sonic's and most flawless measurements ever encountered.

The Turntable's Choice Phono Stage
$9,800.
balanced
$5,400 unbalanced
As analog fans with large LP collections, the development of this phono stage was an assignment close to our hearts.
Because we prefer MC cartridges, we set out to develop the ultimate moving-coil preamplifier. ‘The Turntable’s Choice’ inspires with its dynamic agility, precisely tracking bass lines and a vocal range that is filled with emotive tone, body and a powerful projective force, all perfectly balanced by a harmoniously effulgent treble. Sound staging and image specificity are unbelievably holographic and fleshed out.
Technical data
- Gain of 68dB (2500x)
- S/N ratio typically 76dB
- THD < 0.03%
- Star-grounding (the stereo version too uses discrete dual-mono floating power supplies)
- passive RIAA equalization
- Adjustable impedance loading
- Discrete architecture (24 monolithic transistors per channel)
- High-current output stage with low 50-ohm output impedance
- Output voltage > 5V, balanced 10V
- External power supply (the fully balanced version has twin power supplies)
- Resonance-free vibration-optimized chassis
- Dual-mono architecture, available fully balanced or single-ended

The Little Big Phono
$3,900
Our new `little` Phono Stage is a big thank you for those people who love the musical performance of The Turntable`s Choice, but couldn't afford it. We tried very hard to come as close as possible in sound quality to our big one and I think, we hit the goal.
The Little Big Phono is based on the circuit of our TTC and it`s a absolutely discrete design too, no OP Amps are used in the signal path. Due to some changes on the manufacturing side, The Little Big Phono is much easier and less time consuming to produce. That`s were we saved the money to realize a kind of bargain price. We can`t see any other Moving Coil Phono Stage who comes close to ours, The Little Big Phono in sound quality and technical performance (in it`s price-class).
It´s sheer dynamics, absolutely quiet breaks, unbelievable focus and image takes it to a `must buy` for vinyl lovers. We guarantee you will discover your vinyl records as new. You will notice musical details as never heard before, and you will experience a rhythm and timing which leads you to a new interpretation of the song.
- Volker Bohlmeier President: Einstein Audio Components
Product Specifications:
- Gain of 68dB
- S/N ratio 77dB
- THD < 0.18% at +6dB output voltage
- Adjustable impedance loading

- Output voltage > 5 Volt
- External power supply
- Dual-mono architecture
- Dimensions per mono unit 6.89 x 1.97 x .79" (LxWxH)

The Final Cut MK 60 OTL Amplifier
$
34,900 per pair
This extraordinary concept could only materialize after extensive research and the development of novel circuitry to achieve output-transformer-less (OTL) pure tube topologies without the common loss of bass control due to insufficient damping factors.
‘The Final Cut' celebrates the sophisticated mid band presence of a 300B S.E.T. or 211 amplifier but adds exploded bandwidth and dynamics beyond any audible limits: a true watershed phenomenon in tube technology.
Technical data
- Dual-differential, fully balanced circuitry from input to output
- No output transformers
- Shortest signal path with point-to-point wiring
- High damping factor
- Low harmonic distortion
- Wide operational bandwidth
- S/N ratio > 95dB
- THD < 0.05%
- Damping factor 90/8-ohm, 45/4-ohm
- Output power 60 watts into 8 ohms, 45 watts into 4 ohms
- Tube complement per mono block: 4 x 6C33 triode, 5 x E88CC/6922 dual triode
Weight 32 kg /ea.

The Source Balanced Tube CD Player
$ 18,400
This CD Player is accompanied by a long list of notable technical details which guarantee an outstanding sonic quality.
The powerful low impedance output stage with four 6N30 tubes in a balanced configuration has an extremely wide and linear bandwidth with a signal to noise ratio better than 100 dB.
The Philips CDM 2 Pro transport mechanism is one of the highest quality transports available and a 24 bit D/A converter with a 192 KHz sampling rate guarantees the highest resolution possible.
The musical presentation of The Source is really amazing.
The finest details, fastest dynamics and an incredible three dimensional sound stage are the keys of the outstanding performance of The Source.
Bass lines are very controlled with a perfect timing. Voices are absolutely realistic, with a full bodied warm character and the top end is very smooth and natural with an incredible musical performance.
