Further Pursuit of Perfection in the ES-002

The ES-001 eccentricity detection stabilizer earned high praise from analog audio enthusiasts. Inheriting its core design, the ES-002 introduces carefully considered improvements to achieve a higher level of perfection. Enhancements in structure, materials, and balance ensure superior reliability and ease of use in practical applications. The ES-002 is a meticulously refined evolution of the ES-001, enhancing durability, reliability, and operability in every aspect. The difference is in the details.

• Simplified and Robust Construction - The number of components has been reduced, resulting in a more streamlined and reinforced design. This simplicity contributes to improved reliability and structural stability.


• Improved Housing Durability - The battery compartment has been redesigned, and new materials have been adopted for the sensor unit, further enhancing durability during extended use.


• Optimized Center of Gravity for Greater Stability - The internal configuration has been rebalanced to achieve ideal rotational performance. This refinement enables the stabilizer to deliver smoother, more natural operation.

ES-002 Reference (Reference Model)>

Building upon the design philosophy of the ES-001, the ES-002 Reference is a reference model that pursues an even higher level of refinement. Prioritising sound quality above all, it is constructed using only the finest grade components.

Combining outstanding audio performance with highly accurate eccentricity detection, this model represents the culmination of DS Audio's stabilizer technology.

ES-002 Core (Core Model)

Offering the same measurement accuracy and core functionality as the Reference model, the ES-002 Core is a practical option designed with cost-efficiency in mind.

By replacing the most expensive reliable tungsten components with brass, using resin for internal parts, and simplifying the accessories, it maintains identical performance while being more accessible.Both models deliver the same high level of measurement precision and detection performance, ensuring and consistent operation.

You Can't Reduce Wow & Flutter Without Eliminating Record Eccentricity

The dominant cause of wow & flutter in analog playback is not the turntable itself, but the eccentricity of the record.No matter how precise or expensive your turntable may be, as long as the record is off-centre, wow & flutter cannot be truly reduced.

For example, a record with an eccentricity of just 0.34 mm can generate wow levels more than 20 times greater than those of the turntable alone—even if the turntable boasts a wow & flutter rating of just 0.008%.

This means that record eccentricity severely degrades the rotational accuracy of the entire playback system, making it impossible to achieve faithful sound reproduction, regardless of the hardware quality.
By accurately correcting the record's eccentricity, you can dramatically reduce total wow & flutter—allowing your turntable system to finally perform to its full potential.
