SweetVinyl – SugarCube SC-1 Mini

Turn Your Noisy Vinyl LPs into Near-Mint Pressings Without Sonic Degradation: SweetVinyl SC-1 Mini Non-Destructive Click-and-Pop Removal Device Features App-Based Control

Everyone would love to own mint LP originals of our favorite albums, but the cost would likely be prohibitive. So, what if we told you that any old, used vinyl pressing can be played back without noise? It’s true. Any record can be played without clicks and pops with the SweetVinyl SugarCube SC-1 Mini non-destructive noise-removal device.

Featuring upgraded algorithms and software, and more compact and inexpensive than the original model, SC-1 Mini comes with 24-bit/192kHz AKM AD/DA converters, an LCD front-panel display, USB-A and Ethernet ports, and gold-plated RCA interconnects for superb flexibility. The five-pound SC-1 Mini’s “non-destructive” character means no sonic signature added or subtracted during the process. How? The unit’s sophisticated 2.0 algorithm detects, isolates, and removes only the unwanted noise, and leave the original musical signal completely unscathed. For analog purists who don’t want a device in your signal path, SC-1 Mini includes an audiophile-grade analog bypass that leaves no fingerprints.

Plus, SC-1 Mini couldn’t be any easier to operate. It has four modes, described in detail below. You can also connect SC-1 Mini to Ethernet, and your phone or tablet becomes the controller for click-and-pop removal and analog bypass. You will never believe what SC-1 Mini can do until you try one in your home. Our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee gives you complete security.

Four Modes for the Results You Want

1. Full Bypass: Allows complete purity to the original signal from the phono preamplifier. No circuitry in the signal path.
2. Remove Ticks and Pops – Does exactly what it says. Removes all the surface noise from your vinyl pressing.
3. Play LP As-Is – Again, self-explanatory. You will hear the pressing played with all surface noise intact.
4. Just Play Ticks and Pops – This mode is really special. All you will hear is what is being removed from playback. All the surface noise, with none of the music being harmed.

“Although initially skeptical of SweetVinyl’s SugarCube SC-1, extended use convinced me that it’s actually a very well-designed product that really does work. …[It] magically restores badly scratched record surfaces to being listenable once more.”
