The power amplifier blocks of the F-01\/F-02 amplify the signal from the preamp to a level approximately 27 times higher. In an audio system, the sound quality of the preamp has a significant effect on the quality of the entire system because of this high gain ratio. By isolating the preamp section's power supply from other circuits to prevent mutual interference, and by increasing its capacitance, the integrated amplifier can deliver higher quality sound to the speakers that can match the quality of a high-end separate amplifier system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-10 col-sm-offset-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"columnbox\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Original F-01\/F-02 Preamp Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe preamp section of the F-01\/F-02 is meticulously designed as a high-end model, with a large, fully balanced dual-mono circuit configuration and the “Ultra Fidelity Attenuator System” developed for the Grandioso C1X. The preamp power rectification circuit of the F-01\/F-02 is separated from the main power transformer (EI core 940VA) winding exclusively for the preamp circuit, and the rectification circuits are designed independently for each audio and logic control circuit to prevent noise contamination. The audio rectification circuit uses high-capacitance Grandioso custom capacitors in a parallel configuration (4,700µF ×4). Current can be charged\/discharged to multiple capacitors at different times, ensuring a stable and clean power supply to the preamp at all times.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-title\"\u003eExternal Power Supply Designed Exclusively for Audio Circuits in the Preamp Section\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePS-01F is an external power supply designed exclusively for the audio circuit of the F-01\/F-02 preamp section.\u003cbr\u003eIt is important that the preamp section, which handles small signals, and the power amplifier section, which sends large currents to the speakers, are not affected by each other. By adding the PS-01F to the F-01\/F-02, the preamp’s capacitance is greatly increased and clearly separated from the amplifier’s main rectifier, allowing the user to enjoy the finest details and dynamics of music, reminiscent of the Grandioso C1X, our flagship preamp with a separate power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pc-dsp\"\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"col-md-10 col-md-offset-1\"\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003ePower Supply Configuration\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esoteric.jp\/images\/products\/_esoteric\/ps-01f\/ps-01f_config_1_en_pc.jpg\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esoteric.jp\/images\/products\/_esoteric\/ps-01f\/ps-01f_config_2c_en_pc.jpg\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003ePS-01F increases the capacitance of the preamplifier and improves the left\/right channel independence of the rectifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-title\"\u003eEquipped With a Large Toroidal Core Transformer\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PS-01F is equipped with a large 200VA power transformer.

The three isolation feet are positioned for optimum sound quality after repeated listening tests. The top of the isolation feet is held in place by the weight of the chassis when installed. By avoiding the stress concentration caused by screwing the feet into the large surface area of the lower chassis, a more open sound is created. The bottom chassis is laser-slotted to provide optimum vibration damping for each circuit component inside the chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"col-md-8 col-md-offset-2\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esoteric.jp\/images\/products\/_esoteric\/ps-01f\/ps-01f_pinpoint_foot.jpg\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"col-sm-6 col-sm-offset-3\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.esoteric.jp\/images\/products\/_esoteric\/ps-01f\/pinpoint_foot_amination_en.gif\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"col-sm-4 col-sm-offset-4\"\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003eFeet Layout (bottom of the unit)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.esoteric.jp\/images\/products\/_esoteric\/ps-01f\/ps-01f_feet_position.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-title\"\u003eSemi Floating Top Panel\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe enclosure’s top panel utilizes a screwless semi-floating structure that further contributes to an open and dynamic sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-title\"\u003eHigh Quality DC Cable Included\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA DC cable (1.5 m \/ 1 piece) with a highly reliable, large die-cast aluminum connector is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pc-dsp\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esoteric.jp\/images\/products\/_esoteric\/ps-01f\/ps-01f_dimensions_pc.jpg\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pc-dsp\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpec description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product_style\"\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"table table-bordered table-striped spec_table\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec_lv0\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec_lv2\" valign=\"top\"\u003ePower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003eAC 120V, 60Hz\u003cbr\u003eAC 220-240V, 50\/60Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec_lv2\" valign=\"top\"\u003ePower consumtion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e10W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec_lv2\" valign=\"top\"\u003eOverall dimensions\u003csmall\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(W×H×D)\u003c\/small\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e146 × 128 × 353mm\u003csmall\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(including protrusions)\u003c\/small\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec_lv2\" valign=\"top\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e7kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec_lv0\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003ePower cord × 1\u003cbr\u003eHigh quality DC power cord × 1\u003cbr\u003eFelt pads × 3\u003cbr\u003eOwner’s manual × 1\u003cbr\u003eWarranty card × 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product_text\"\u003e* Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Esoteric","offers":[{"title":"Silver","offer_id":47166506762427,"sku":"ESPS01FS","price":7500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/1221\/0363\/files\/PS-01f_FR.jpg?v=1778269507","url":"https:\/\/truenorthdistribution.com\/products\/esoteric-grandioso-ps-01f-power-supply","provider":"True North Distribution","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
