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
