NEW Top of the line phono stage!
Many people who experienced the stunning sound of the Black Cube phono stages during the last six years were asking me: "What, if you take the superior principle of the Black Cube and use only top notch parts in a package that does not need to hide?" - The answer is here. The Silver Cube is capable of drawing the listener into the music like only real music can do!
Some technical details:
- Special operational amplifiers for professional audio use
- Only Mundorf tin foil MKP caps in the signal path
- Discrete Class A (quiscent current app. 100mA) FET output stage without any negative feedback highly buffered with high grade electrolytic capacitors and MKPs
- Each gain stage has its own extremely fast parallel voltage regulators buffered with three different capacitors for each voltage
- strictly built double mono layout
- All electrolytic capacitors in the audio section are Low ESR, high temperature types
- Gain up to 66dB in four levels accessible from the rear side
- Additional choke filtering of supply voltages on the audio board
- Case milled out of one block of massive aluminum used as cooler for the Class A output stage
- WBT audio connectors
- Neutrik Power supply connector with gold plated contacts
The power supply of the Silver Cube is definitely worth extra mentioning:
- 120W toroidal transformer with isolating coil between primary and secondary coil
- Separate set of ultra fast recovering diodes for each secondary coil
- Chokes on the secondary side
- Very low noise regulated voltages
- Shielded cable between power supply and audio section
- Neutrik connectors with gold plated contacts to connect Audio section and power supply
- Voltage selector 120V/240V AC mains voltage
This power supply is highly responsible for the liquid and open sound of the Silver Cube.
