Integrated Amplifier
I-05
Highly Rigid Chassis
Constriction - Inheriting the Philosophy
from the I-03
• Highly rigid, low noise chassis construction
The I-05's internal chassis features three separate compart-
ments each accommodating different circuit blocks so as to
increase rigidity and reduce interference and noise between
these circuits. The power transformer is placed in the center
compartment and fixed to the bottom chassis through the
3.2mm thick steel base plate. The entire chassis is supported at
three points using Esoteric’s proprietary steel insulators for
effective vibration suppression. This new chassis design, which
was originally introduced in the K series and the I-03, ensures
excellent rigidity and extremely low noise. The orientation of the
three compartments allows us to develop circuits with the
shortest possible audio signal path.
• Precisely machined aluminum chassis
and mechanical parts
The I-05 has inherited the rounded form
design of Esoteric's flagship models.
Thick billet aluminum materials have been
used for the front, top, side panels and
front corners. The preamplifier volume control and input selector
have been machined from one continuous aluminum block. The
precisely tooled, rounded ergonomic design offers a sleek
appearance as well as an ideal balance for operational control.
• Beautiful rounded form commensurate with fine furniture
The high quality rounded form, inherited from its predecessors
and the “slender I-03” design, has been incorporated into this
new integrated amplifier. Combined with any of the K series
SACD/CD players, which also utilize the round form design,
creates a unique look that is similar to a suite of furniture.
Audio expression, symphonic beauty, artistic passion, a concert hall spatial feel and the excitement of the
audience. Esoteric’s Master Sound Works is an audio product concept that recreates all of the music
information in original master recordings with the most state of the art technology available today.
