In this DS Audio ES-001 Eccentricity Detection Stabilizer review, we explore a groundbreaking innovation that's transforming the vinyl listening experience. As an audiophile who's spent countless hours analysing high-end audio equipment, I can confidently say this world-first device addresses one of the most overlooked aspects of vinyl playback: record eccentricity.
The Game-Changing Innovation
The ES-001 tackles a critical issue that plagues even the finest turntable setups. When a record's centre hole isn't perfectly aligned (even by as little as 0.34mm), it creates measurable wow and flutter of up to 0.15% - enough to compromise the integrity of your listening experience.
Premium Build Quality
Crafted from a sophisticated blend of aluminium and tungsten, the ES-001 exhibits exceptional build quality. At 620g (including batteries), it provides the perfect balance between stability and usability. The compact φ80×H70mm form factor ensures it integrates seamlessly with any turntable setup.
Intelligent Interface
The 2.4-inch touch panel interface brings modern technology to vinyl playback. Its three-step process - Measure, Adjust, and Restart - makes precision adjustments accessible to both novice and experienced users.
