Black Box Carbon

The Black Box Carbon is a mathematically-derived resonator array that eliminate bass nodes and room modes, housed in a carbon fiber and aluminum chassis. Working from the principle that all frequencies in the audible bandwidth are linked through harmonics, when low frequencies are brought into correct phase alignment the benefits cascade upward through every harmonic multiple. Get the phase correct at 20Hz, for example, and it clears up 40Hz, 80Hz, 160Hz, and on. The result is the removal of congestion, allowing music to travel and sound freer, with tighter bass definition, improved detail retrieval, and more accurate image outlines across the frequency spectrum. The Black Box Carbon builds on over a decade of refinement with significant improvements to mechanical resonance control of both the chassis and resonator, delivering greater resolution, more textural bass, and a more natural presentation than ever before. It is also optimized for stacking, pairing beautifully with additional Black Boxes for even more profound impact.

This promotion is designed to take your system further by pairing the Black Box Carbon with one of two complementary paths from the Six Pillars of Synergy.
Choose the HFT Speaker Kit Mk II to extend your acoustic tuning: 14 precisely voiced High Frequency Transducers in asymmetric deployment generate real-time phase-locked energy that corrects room-induced phase and frequency distortion, making your speakers disappear into a holographic soundstage with lifelike spatial realism. Or choose MiG SRX footers to address the mechanical tuning pillar: a Strategic Triad of three unique UEF Metamaterial formulations that govern mechanical energy flow through your components, converting chassis vibration from a source of distortion into expanded dynamics, deeper bass control, and enhanced imaging. Either way, you are building real system synergy.

HFT Speaker Kit Mk II

HFT Speaker Kit MkII dramatically improves your speakers ability to disappear and enable a sonic presentation that is tonally accurate, with the spatial realism and emotional immediacy the music was meant to convey in a way that goes beyond what we believed possible. With six different types of precisely tuned HFT (up from three) featuring faster activation and tighter phase alignment, the breakthrough lies in a new controlled asymmetric deployment where each of the seven positions is independently tuned to complement the others in ways symmetric placement never could achieve. The result transcends what seemed possible: instruments bloom with greater body and truth, vocals hang with stunning presence, and recordings scale effortlessly from intimate ensembles to large orchestras—delivering not just better sound, but sound that feels completely right.

The HFT Speaker Kit MkII isn’t an upgrade—it’s a complete revolution that reconstructs your soundstage’s phase structure from the ground up.

Review on Enjoy the Music

So what was the “sudden change” I heard upon first firing up the rig with the new PowerCell? I replayed the same cut I had last listened to and before I could get back to the listening chair I was struck by an increase in pace, rhythm, and timing, greater transparency. By the time I hit the seat, greater macro dynamics had also become obvious. When you know a song well enough, these things quickly come to light. Extended listening over the rest of the song revealed greater resolution, inner detail, and micro-dynamics. While I’m not an electrical engineer, I have to suspect that these initial impressions stemmed from unimpeded current flow, faster rise times, and a lower noise floor which contributed to the instantaneous attack of the notes and greater transparency.

Review on Stereo Times

Like the predecessor (SR AGB SE) I reviewed back in 2018, the new SR AGB SX reduced the background noise floor and signal compression but to a much higher level. I thought, “This is incredible,” and “It’s like a whole new sound.“  Instruments on the recording, like the piano, bass, drums, and percussion, emerged from a jet-black backdrop with 3-dimensionality, but now with the tone, timbre, and pitch spot on.  The location of each instrument was also more defined within the soundstage. Precision is the one word I would use to describe the effect of the SR AGB SX, which was lacking in the previous editions of the SR Grounding Blocks.  With the further reduction in noise and signal compression, instruments were separated more while maintaining a natural tonal balance. The benefit of removing internally generated RFI and EMI noise within grounded components was demonstrated. I want to say Hats off to Ted Denney and his gang for doing something special with the SR Active Grounding Block SX.

Voodoo Music Streamer / Server

The Voodoo Streamer Server was born from a simple frustration—despite decades of advancing digital cables and components, streaming still sounded compressed and flat compared to our best turntables and tape decks. As Harry Pearson famously said, “If you want to enjoy digital, don’t listen to analog.” We couldn’t accept that limitation.

After perfecting our Ethernet Switches and Network Routers, we turned to the final link: the server itself. We leveraged fifteen years of EM Cell technology from our PowerCell line conditioners, advanced LPS power supplies, and ULF bias technology from our Galileo Ground Blocks to create the world’s most musically robust server architecture. Through extensive double-blind testing, we selected only the most resolved and musical motherboards, processors, and RAM configurations.

The breakthrough came when we adapted our ULF bias technology to eliminate the high-frequency noise inherent in digital circuits. This finally overcame digital compression and annoying artifacts we assumed were intrinsic to the format. Now digital sounds spacious and transparent while analog sounds compressed by comparison—a complete reversal of what we’ve accepted for decades.

Built in a CNC-machined aircraft aluminum and carbon fiber chassis that acts as a massive heat sink for silent, fan-free operation, the Voodoo runs Roon software for the ultimate user experience. For maximum performance, use dual units—one as core, one as bridge—allowing each to focus on its specific function.

Transform your digital experience with the server that finally makes streaming rival your best analog sources.

SRX USB

SRX USB shares the same hallmarks as the rest of the SRX lineup. Namely, an ultra-low noise floor with inner detail, dynamics, and holographic realism to rival the best analog playback while setting a new digital benchmark. Anyone experienced with master tapes understands there is a significent difference between the best of digital and tape, with tape possessing detail, musicality, dynamics and three diminsionalility not found in other formats. SRX Digital takes your state-of-the-art DAC close to your best tapes in your reel-to-reel deck while surpassing the majority of tapes in your library. And if you are a vinyl lover, you will find many of your files, CDs, and SACDs can now compete with and surpass all but your best vinyl recordings. To set this new digital standard, we start with an exploded geometry comprising two 3rd Gen Silver Matrix geometries, and four Silver Air Strings.. Each Air String is hand-made in our California factory from 99.9999% pure silver in an air dielectric with a UEF grid running the cable’s length to lower the noise floor and expand the sound field. We then apply the SRX Long Duration Multi-Frequency High Voltage Conditioning Process for enhanced clarity, musicality, and detail without fatigue. And for a lower noise floor still, connect the SRX Digital’s Ground Plane to an Active SR Ground Block. Each hand-made geometry and ground plane is run through carbon fiber discs to maintain separation between conductors for lower capacitance and cross-talk. Voicing the cables to your system is easy with supplied Gold and Silver SRX Carbon Fibre UEF filters. Gold will deliver a warmer and more liquid sound, while silver has increased air and focus. You decide between Gold and Silver Tuning Circuits by listening to your two options for a bespoke system match.

Galileo SX Ground Block Mk II

Audio components create electromagnetic interference and noise that pollutes your system’s ground plane, while poorly designed ground paths can add up to 10dB of signal-damaging noise through normal current-carrying circuits. We’ve re-engineered our award-winning Galileo SX Active Ground Block using breakthrough technology from our flagship Galileo SX PowerCell to provide a separate, superior conductive path to earth ground that eliminates this contamination. The machined aluminum and carbon fiber chassis with three Active EM Cells and copper mesh Ground Plane dramatically reduces noise while creating a jet-black sonic background with previously unnoticed detail that even sophisticated electronics cannot achieve on their own.

Major upgrades include a dual-channel ULF generator with 2x signal strength that synchronizes your system to Earth’s natural 7.83Hz Schumann Resonance—the planet’s electromagnetic “heartbeat” generated by lightning strikes—which acts as dither to overpower room interference for more effortless, musical flow. This delivers increased deep bass power and weight, more holographic soundstaging, smoother high frequencies with greater extension, and a more present, layered mid-range with increased tonal density and resolution—improvements so dramatic they’re like upgrading from standard resolution to Double DSD.

With 70 ground ports, advanced linear power supply with new LPS technology, and simple button tuning to optimize ULF frequency for different system configurations, you can connect turntables, DACs, preamps, power amps, and any component with active circuitry to this revolutionary ground filtering technology that transforms modest components to perform far above their class.

HD SX Ground Cables

Since engineering our original HD Ground Cables in 2015, our understanding of building the world’s best-sounding cables has advanced exponentially. In areas such as metallurgy, UEF compounds, and high voltage and high current conditioning processes have collectively gone well beyond anything we could have imagined ten years ago. So it was time we applied all we’ve learned to build the next generation HD Ground Cable. We started with the same hand-made AirString Geometry. We added a new single crystal pure six-nines silver conductor in an air dielectric for cleaner highs and a noticeable increase in resolution combined with a more relaxed presentation. We then add a new UEF Compound to a new Matrix Shield for an even lower noise floor in a more holographic soundscape. We then added our brand new Three Stage High Voltage conditioning process initially developed for our new flagship SRX cables for a dramatic lowering of the noise floor. All told, these improvements create a whole new level of performance, resolution, and musicality. In short, adding our new HDSX Ground Cables to your system with any of our Ground Block technologies will improve all aspects of sound, and not in a subtle way.
