Many things that made the Black Cube phono stages
famous the world over are now offered by the Black
Cube Statement in a new, attractive package at an
even more affordable price. This is true for the parts
quality as well as for the highly rated audio performance.
The original Black Cube phono preamplifier
redefined the phono stage market when introduced
in 1995 and saw many imitations. Since then Black
Cube phono stages have always reached cult status.
Numerous awards and countless positive reviews on
all five continents clearly underline the success.
The Lehmannaudio Black Cube Statement phono
stage is compatible with practically all available
cartridges on the market from High Output MM to
low output MC cartridges. Apart from the standard
switch settings there is one onboard slot that can
be fitted with a custom impedance to supply perfect
termination even for the most exotic cartridges.
Customisation possibilities are practically infinite.
No more need for expensive impedance plugs!
The entirely passive RIAA equalization network of
the Black Cube Statement is realized with high
precision foil capacitors. Bass coupling between the
two linear gain stages is even realized with an MKP
type. All resistors are of the low noise metal film
variety. The switches for gain and load settings have
gold plated contacts.
Because of the small outer dimensions the Black
Cube Statement can be placed next to the turntable.
This minimizes loss due to cable lengths. The
external power supply keeps magnetic interference
away from the audio section
Lehmannaudio has always been paying special attention
to details: the case of the audio section is
made of nonmagnetic materials and is even equipped
with a top cover equipped with a special antiresonance
treatment.
