Description This is the latest iteration of the famous Black Cube, released in the UK March 2006 The Lehmann Audio Black Cube phono stage has gained cult status among vinyl oriented music lovers since it has hit the market in 1995. The Black Cube is a phono stage developed for the analog oriented music lover. The small box can be placed near by the turntable. A wide variety of pickup cartridges can be connected ranging from mc to high-output mm. The Black Cube satisfies even very high demands to analog audiophile music reproduction. The quality of the sophisticated electronic circuit equals the outstanding sonic performance at a price you would never expect when you hear the Black Cube in a blind test comparison. The passive RIAA-network of the Black Cube is placed between two linear amplifier stages - highly buffered special amplifiers by Analog Devices. This minimizes nonlinearities caused by phase errors that would occur in active filters. The use of low tolerance WIMA capacitors results in a very stable sonic impression with a fast attack response, delicate tonal balance and realistic soundstage information The external regulated power supply of the Black Cube can be placed up to 2m away from the audio section. The cable between power supply and audio section is shielded to keep rfi away from the near noiseless and highly stable supply voltages. This effect is even enhanced by additional supply voltage filtering on the double sided audio pcb. Lehmann Black Cube Phono stages are compatible with practically all available cartridges. Standard switch settings allow you to choose between MM and MC cartridges and to adjust input loading. In addition to the standard switch settings there is a onboard slot which can be used to customise loading for the most exotic cartridge.
