What reviewers think
Bloggers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below. Links to full reviews follow.
What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

Select products
Select product comparisons
THE PHONO SERIES
- Positioning: An entry-level series focused on high-performance analog signal correction for vinyl playback.
- Description: Features a straightforward, low-noise design with finely tuned RIAA equalization that delivers clear, accurate phono stage performance. Compared to the Heritage and Power Series—which add more advanced circuitry and control features—it offers a cost-effective solution suitable for small-room setups and budget-conscious buyers.
HERITAGE SERIES
- Positioning: A mid-range line that revisits classic design with modern performance enhancements.
- Description: Uses refined circuit tuning and traditional design cues to provide a warm and detailed sound signature, appealing to enthusiasts who value vintage aesthetics paired with current standards.
POWER SERIES
- Positioning: A series concentrating on delivering robust output and dynamic amplification for larger setups.
- Description: Uses a high-current amplification design that provides strong, clean power ideal for demanding loads and extended listening environments. In contrast to the Heritage and Phono Series which focus on signal integrity at lower levels, its emphasis on wattage and dynamic headroom caters to buyers needing more drive and capability without the complex control integrations of the ACC line.
ACC SERIES
- Positioning: A specialized control console series designed for advanced system management in integrated high-fidelity setups.
- Description: Features a unique articulation system that allows precise, modular control over signal routing and system adjustments, enhancing overall system integration. Compared to the Power and Heritage Series—where the focus remains on raw amplification and classic sound—the ACC Series prioritizes intelligent control and fine-tuned adjustments.
ORACLE SERIES
- Positioning: The flagship high-end line aimed at delivering superior performance through advanced digital and analog integration.
- Description: Features cutting-edge processing with enhanced shielding and state-of-the-art integration features that set a new benchmark in audio fidelity. Unlike the ACC Series, which centers on control, or the Power Series, which emphasizes output, the Oracle Series is built for audiophiles with high budget tolerance who demand the most refined sonic balance and broad functionality for both small and large room applications.

S-2500 Quantum MKII

/
Released
Can you call it "the new middle class"? In a way, yes, but only if you orientate yourself within our device hierarchy. Otherwise, the S2500-Quantum is of course absolutely top class. In this model, too, we have implemented everything in line with our uncompromising approach.
Stromtank is unique among power conditioner brands for completely disconnecting audio systems from the power grid and using lithium iron phosphate batteries to deliver pure sine wave power. Their battery management system, developed with the Fraunhofer Institute, actively monitors and balances cells while handling both front-end and power amplifier components, unlike typical power conditioners that only support low-power devices.

Our Summary
Product Strengths
- Improved speed stability of the Air Force Zero turntable during analog playback
- Increased resolution, improved enunciation, increased dynamics, and rendered background sounds more intelligible
- Helped clean up fracturing that could take place on some LPs when piano keys were vigorously struck in the treble region
- Lowered the noise floor, enlarged the soundstage, increased the sense of black backgrounds, retrieved additional detail, and fortified dynamic swells
- Amplified some of the inherent strengths of digital recordings, adding another level of finesse to the proceedings and intensifying tonal density
Product Considerations
- Plugging in amplifiers led to a somewhat more subdued performance—a 'plusher ride'
Takeaway: The S-2500 delivers on its promise to improve stereo performance and bring the listener closer to the musical truth. It has many positive effects and no negative effects.
