I do not know what it is, but I know you will not miss it if you throw it away as you obviously have no use for it anyway.
What is this odd little box I've been storing for years?
I received this switch/pot a few years ago with a used preamp and have never been able to identify it. When I asked the seller he said he didn't know either, he just thought it was part of the preamp (it's not). I wish I could post a picture here - but it's about a 3.5"black cube, with an older brown AC cord, an on/off rocker switch, fuse holder and small attenuator pot on the front. I though it might be a wireless remote switch for a turntable, but can't find any similar images online. Any ventured guesses would greatly helpful

From your description, this box has only one electrical connection, a power cord. It reminds me of the "parallel line conditioners" of old. These devices were supposed to clean your AC line power. Two examples that I can recall are the Tice Clock and the Coherent Systems Corp EAU-1 Electraclear. Audiogon has lots of comments about the Tice Clock. Here’s one short thread -- https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/anyone-remember-the-quot-tice-clock-quot-controversy?highligh... And here’s an old Audiogon listing for the EAU-1 -- https://www.audiogon.com/listings/ac-conditioners-coherent-systems-corporation-eau-1-electraclear-pa... Unfortunately, I could not identify your particular box. (Dunno if a pic would help either). Good luck. |
