Black Ice by Jolida - Foz SS-X Sound Stage Expander

That's the one.

So this is certainly more than a tube buffer. It's like a tube buffer, switch box, phase manipulation, and bass EQ all in one.

Personally, all things I would prefer to fix earlier in the signal path, preferably in the source gear and amp circuitry. But I bet this is a tone of fun and can really change the sound of a system.

It’s like a tube input selector!

 

[Mr Moustache]

yeah, this looks like a relatively affordable box to play with. Too bad it's 110V only and not 110-220V...

 

[HayesWeighsIn]

I love it. Kinda makes an input selector.... fun? $400 of fun, though!

Wanting to pick up an MX-VNYL and noticed that there are not as many around as before online. Are they phasing out?

I don’t know. They do seem to be as widely available in Europe as always. I do know that they changed ownership recently so that may have affected the American distribution of them.

I believe they are, hence the discounts.

Where in Florida are you from?

The "pretty much Alabama" part. All my hifi is online in this area.

I haven't seen anything with comparable numbers in the price range. Should I still get one if they are not going to be around?
Any thoughts?

I think I read somewhere that they are indeed discontinued by the manufacturer.

Where? They’re still in the current model lineup on the manufacturers website...

My bad it's the M6 Vinyl that is discontinued.

If you can get a deal on a close out, sure. Everything goes discontinued sooner or later.

Shipping looks rough.

Yea, I undercut their price and offered $275. I’m only paying $75 + shipping out of pocket. I’m feeling lucky today I guess

I see it’s gone. Did you get it?

Yep, they accepted the offer. I sent a little note about throwing as much bubble wrap as possible around it. They have a good rating so I’m hoping for the best.

No original box? They have the remote, right?
