SweetVinyl – SugarCube SC-1 Plus

Non-Destructive Click-and-Pop-Removal Device Includes Surface Noise Reduction Software and Digital Outputs: SweetVinyl SugarCube SC-1 Plus Turns Unplayable Vinyl LPs into Gems

A full-size and fully featured version of the head-turning SweetVinyl SC-1, the SugarCube SC-1 Plus non-destructive noise-removal device turns LPs you thought were unplayable into quiet, near-mint copies when played through its cutting-edge engine. Complete with Surface Noise Reduction (SVNR) software that provides up to 8dB of background noise reduction without adding coloration to the original content, SC-1 Plus also touts an enhanced 24-bit/192kHz AD/DA subsystem, extremely refined analog path, beefier power supply, and a variety of additional digital interfaces. To wit, its rear panel includes Toslink and SPDIF outputs, a USB-B port for archiving your LPs on a computer, gold-plated RCA connectors, Ethernet and USB-A ports, and a pair of RCA inputs and outputs.

Most importantly, SugarCube SC-1 Plus plays any old, used vinyl pressing without noise – and does so without adding or subtracting any sonic signature during the process. How? The unit’s sophisticated 2.0 algorithm detects, isolates, and transparently removes only the unwanted noise, and leaves the original musical signal completely unscathed. For analog purists who don’t want a device in your signal path, SC-1 Plus has an audiophile-grade analog bypass that leaves no fingerprints. The eight-pound component is ideal for collections with 78s and tape.

When it comes to ease of use, SugarCube SC-1 Plus couldn’t be much simpler to operate. It has four modes, described in detail below. You can also connect SugarCube SC-1 Plus to Ethernet, and your phone or tablet becomes the controller for click-and-pop removal, SVNR, and analog bypass. And the front panel – adorned with an LDC display, stylish bezel, and pairing function integrated with the strength knob – allows for complete control of the basic functions.

All of us have LPs in our collection we wish were quieter. SugarCube SC-1 Plus, now they can be. 100% Music Direct Guaranteed.

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.
