Lehmann Audio Black Cube Decade MM/MC Phono Stage

Lehmann Audio Black Cube Decade MM/MC Phono Stage

• Available with Silver or Black faceplates

The Black Cube Decade is the current top model of the Black Cube series of phono stages. It was developed to fill the large performance gap between the company's own Black Cube SE and the Silver Cube (Lehmann Audio's current reference phono stage). 

Lehmann Audio phono stages have gained a near legendary reputation for their sound and build quality.

The Lehmann Audio Black Cube Decade is no different, pushing the boundaries still further. Although a relative newcomer to the Lehmann Audio range the exceptional Lehmann Audio Black Cube Decade has already established overwhelming recognition as the ultimate in phono stage design.

With the Black Cube Decade Lehmann Audio have taken performance a big step forward from the lower cost Black Cube range by using technology and components found in the flagship Lehmann Audio Silver Cube phono stage.

The Lehmann Audio Black Cube Decade not only provides maximum air and space with excellent soundstage (depth and width) but also stunningly fast attack response, pace, timing, swing and dynamics.

The maximum gain of 66dB is well enough for even very exotic low output MC cartridges. Impedance load adaption is practically infinite as with all Lehmann Audio phono stages: there is a free slot for a custom impedance so that every existing MC cartridge on the market can be loaded properly. Input capacitances are adjustable as well.

The input stages used in the Black Cube Decade can also be found in top notch mixing consoles or in well known professional microphone preamps.
