European Audio Team (EAT): Analog Craftsmanship with Exceptional Value
European Audio Team, better known as EAT, is a brand specializing in high-fidelity analog products: turntables, tonearms, phono cartridges, and tube-based electronics. Founded by Jozefina Lichtenegger, who inherited expertise from top-tier vacuum tube manufacturing (VAIC/Tesla), EAT has grown by blending rigorous technical design with refined aesthetics.
Key Products
Turntables such as the Fortissimo S, Forte S, and C-Major, combining massive platters, robust construction, customized finishes, and high-mass bases for unmatched stability.
Tonearms, engineered with hybrid designs for maximum rigidity and precision.
Moving-Coil Cartridges like the Jo series, celebrated for their midrange richness and fine detail retrieval.
Tube Electronics, especially the acclaimed E-Glo line (phono stages / tube amplifiers), built with premium components and strict quality control.
What Makes EAT Different?
EAT’s philosophy merges technical precision, vacuum tube tradition, and bespoke aesthetics (custom colors, materials such as leather and exotic woods). Their products aim to make analog audio not just functional, but artistic and emotionally engaging.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Where are European Audio Team products manufactured?
EAT produces its turntables, tonearms, and cartridges in Europe, mainly in the Czech Republic. It also manufactures its own tubes (KT88, 300B, etc.) using equipment inherited from historic factories such as Tesla/Vršovice.
Which turntable models should demanding audiophiles consider?
Fortissimo S: the flagship, with extreme mass-loading and resonance control.
Forte S: a slightly more accessible version, still offering oversized platter and magnetic suspension.
C-Major: a more compact, affordable entry into EAT’s reference-level engineering.
What are the characteristics of the Jo MC cartridge series?
The Jo line is known for musical midrange, high-frequency resolution, and premium stylus profiles such as Shibata or Micro-Ridge on the higher models (Jo Nº8, Jo Nº10). Build quality and finish are equally meticulous.
What makes the E-Glo phono stage special?
E-Glo is a Class A, dual-mono tube stage offering superb clarity, expansive soundstage, and harmonic richness—ideal for extracting the full musicality of any high-end turntable.
Can I customize finishes or materials on their turntables?
Yes. At recent shows (e.g., High End Munich 2025), EAT has showcased options such as RAL color customization, premium leather finishes (Ferrari-style), and bespoke plinth designs, allowing full aesthetic integration with your system.
Who is the brand designed for?
EAT is aimed at audiophiles who value both fidelity and presentation—those with reference-grade systems who want a fully immersive, detailed, and visually refined analog experience.
