The inputs to the SugarCube Model SC-1 and SC-2 are “line level” and require an upstream phono preamp compatible with the phono cartridge in use on the vinyl playback turntable. In some high end systems this will be a standalone phono preamp audio component feeding the SugarCube and the SugarCubes output feeding an Auxiliary input of the audio system Source Selector. However, on most audio systems an available set of Tape Monitor connections is a perfect approach. Just select Phono on the audio system Source Selector and engage the Tape Monitor when using the SugarCube to route the signals appropriately.
Just press the ‘Pair’ button on the back panel and follow the simple steps on the app screen.

Yes the SugarCube requires 12 VDC to the back panel which is supplied by an external transformer. We ship standard a 120/240 VAC unit that provides 12VDC and has IEC connector that can accommodate a variety of cords.
The first release does not remove any groove or surface noise as we have been careful not to damage or alter any vinyl sound that would also have an effect on the music – we will be offering an additional package to do this as a software upgrade package as shown in the video – the pricing will be reasonable and will need to also have some tools to do lead in, lead out noise reduction and some ability to operate on surface noise in a non-destructive manner.
