Has anyone heard of this "Black Box"

keep us posted. I use the Ade-24 and I like it very much. You might want to make a little experiment. Use it for a while and get used to the sound, then disconnect it and I bet you will return it immediately to the path!

I have used this shoebox sized piece of equipment in my system for close to two years. It's hooked in between my Symphonic Line tube pre-amp and my Naim 3.5 CDP. As Joaq4 said, I'm also betting that you'll find that it becomes a required link in your system. It's effect is somewhat hard to pin down...to my ears the bass becomes more tuneful, there's less digitalitis coming from that silver disc, everything becomes more listenable. For the price, it's been the "biggest bang for the buck" item I have purchased (outside of my Denon 103D phono cartridge).

The back box is no longer in my main system but was moved to my second system where it fits in pretty good. It could not beat out the Peavey Kosmos or the Ortho Spectrum AR 2000. Of couse these do cost more. The Peavey is 250 and the Ortho I bought used for 275. The Peavey is by far the better unit of them all.

I will sell this unit for 150.
