Sweet Vinyl’s Dan Eakins Demonstrates the Sugarcube™ Hi-Res All-in-One Vinyl Digital Recording Platform
At CES 2016 Sweet Vinyl’s Leo Hoarty demoed a Sugarcube™ prototype that incorporated a built-in phono preamplifier. The revised edition introduced at AXPONA 2016 does not.
The feedback Sweet Vinyl received at CES suggested potential buyers would much prefer to use their own phono preamplifier, so along with a series of upgrades and improvements, the product was redesigned without one (Musical Surroundings introduced at AXPONA 2016) a stand-alone version of that phono preamp.
In this video, Sweet Vinyl’s Dan Eakins demonstrates how the product now works, including the efficacy of the built-in click remover.
