Does anyone have any impressions about the Aphex Sound Exciter ?


I would like to use this as a graphic equalizer (kind of) between my phono preamp and main amp and I wondered if anyone has any experience with it.  I know it is a pro gear but hey, why not ?

Basically I want to get that hi dynamic range and punch from my vinyl as I get from the CDs.

I considered an equalizer but there are hardly any new ones being made and the extremely few that are made are extremely expensive.

So, any real experiences with this device ?  Sound engineers welcome to answer of course...

Thanks

Why would a harmonic distortion generator give you more dynamic range? One come along cheap? Try a quieter phono preamp and a volume control.
“Greater perceived loudness” is not the same thing as greater dynamic range. Maybe you need as expander.
When the Aphex gizmo showed up in the 70s there was quite a buzz about it...tales of self destructing circuit boards if you tried to open it and see what was inside, hushed conversations about what it was doing...amazing stuff. Note that Pass gave a pile of his "distortion generator" things out to people at a Burning Amp gathering...I like his "even order distortion" theories as unlike "mysterious" tweaks he has no secrets about his designs.
