LEHMANN AUDIO BLACK CUBE STATEMENT

Pre owned. In excellent conditions. Free of visible signs of wear. Supplied with original packaging and manual.

The Black Cube Statement is the entry-level model in the Black Cube series, yet its compact and accessible design in no way makes it inferior to its larger siblings. With high-level craftsmanship and a refined circuit design, this phono preamplifier allows the listener to rediscover the true pleasure of analog playback. Every record, whether a long-time favorite or a new addition, gains a surprising vitality, revealing details and nuances that turn listening into a renewed and engaging experience. Its philosophy redefines the very concept of “entry-level,” offering an excellent balance between price and performance without ever compromising on quality. Each component is sourced from carefully selected manufacturers, chosen for reliability and durability, ensuring an exciting sound and consistent performance over time.

Designed as a versatile companion, the Black Cube Statement naturally adapts to all common cartridges on the market, from high-output MM to MC. Practical MC impedance settings are directly selectable, and for those seeking further customization, each channel includes a slot for solder-free insertion of dedicated resistors. Its compact design allows placement very close to the turntable, minimizing potential losses due to cable length and preserving maximum signal purity. Even seemingly minor details have been given great care: the enclosure of the audio section is made of non-magnetic aluminum, and the top cover is mechanically dampened—solutions that contribute to optimal isolation and an even more precise sound.
