**Product Description Summary:**Manufacturer: ESOTERIC Model Number: I-05 Color: Silver Year of Manufacture: 2014 (Released in 2012) Rated Output: 120W + 120W (6?) Size: 17.52 inches (W) x 5.16 inches (H) x 15.31 inches (D) Power Consumption: 180W Weight: 37.48 lbs **Condition:** The overall condition is excellent, though there are age-related cracks in the transparent plastic part of the speaker terminals that do not affect functionality. There may be minor overlooked imperfections, but no noticeable scratches are present. Please understand that this is a used item that is over ten years old and not equivalent to new. The remote control is in excellent condition as it was wrapped for protection. There are no signs of battery leakage (uses leak-proof batteries). Gloves were worn during handling, and a simple cleaning has been performed prior to listing. Functionality is normal. **Included Accessories:** Power cable (uncertain if original), remote control, instruction manual, double outer box, and an unused customer card (invalid). **Bonus Items:** RCA terminal protective cover, XLR terminal protective cover, I-05 catalog, contemporary ESOTERIC catalog, and a copy of the instruction manual from PDF. **Features:** The design and quality reflect high-end ESOTERIC equipment standards. The case is made of thick aluminum, and both the volume and input selector are crafted from solid aluminum blocks. All RCA terminals are machined from copper alloy. The front panel features only the volume and input selector, with various settings adjustable via the remote (input naming, left-right balance, input level adjustment, volume curve selection, and MM/MC cartridge selection). Please note that there is no tone control. The settings have been restored to default, but the volume curve is set to C curve for easier adjustment at low volumes. Although it is a Class D amplifier, it embodies the ESOTERIC philosophy of adding nothing and subtracting nothing. It is said to accurately express the quality of the source. The manufacturers suggested retail price at launch in 2012 was approximately 400,000 yen, which would likely be 500,000 to 600,000 yen or more if released today, aligning with expected sound quality. For vinyl playback, it is a high-quality preamplifier that significantly reduces scratch noise. For additional features and catalogs, please check the ESOTERIC website. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. **Note:** The item is the I-05 integrated amplifier. **Additional Information (as of November 16, 2024):** The item was used in a smoke-free and pet-free environment. It has seen minimal use in the last two years, averaging about 20 hours per week previously. The power cable is confirmed to be original after some confusion with multiple cables. **Correction Notice (as of November 18, 2024):** Please note that there was a mistake in the initial listing, mixing in information from the F-07 model. The product is specifically the I-05, and it differs entirely in specifications and appearance. There is no tone control on this model. Thank you for your understanding and attention.
