pro-ject speed box 2 , all they say it is ?

i recently purchased a new pro-ject perspective 2 carbon. so far im really loving it. ive read a few reviews saying the speed box makes a great improvement to the sound of the pro-ject tables , though on paper i dont see how it would. ive got pretty clean power, i dont own any 45,s and i like a less cluttered system. and that little silver box would stick out like a sore thumb. but if a 120.00 gadget really does improve the sound that much ill do it. anybody thats tried it please advise, thanks

I bought one for my MMF-7 and can recommend it. What it does is correct the sine wave of the AC, in turn allowing the motor to run at a more precise speed. The actual effect, that I noticed, is better PRaT. I now have some 45 RPM LPs and not having to move the belt is great.

Hi,
I use the Speedbox mkII with my Thorens TD166mkII very modified the first thing it does at 33 1/3rpm is run the motor with a 44.32Hz sine wave you put the belt on 45rpm pulley, making for less motor noise and my thorens runs about speed prefect with the speedbox you can go wrong only $120.00 go for it.

I've got the Speed Box SE II in a system driving a Pro-ject RM10. In my system it clearly added bass impacted and steadied the tone of piano quite noticeably.
