Over the years I have purchased several SAE 5000A Impulse Noise Reduction Systems. Because of their age it's always a somewhat leap of faith when you buy one. This recent Ebay purchase turned out to be a winner....It Works!
Back in the heyday of vinyl records most of them would eventually succumb to the scratches & general deterioration from lots of playing. Some genius finally came up with a way to help reduce the surface noise on LP's. Note that I say "reduce", not eliminate. It was designed to reduce the "clicks & pops" on your aging vinyl records. When it's working and set up correctly it does that. I have several turntables built into several systems. I've added an SAE 5000A to each one.
If you have a large record collection I would recommend that you consider buying one of these if you can find one. Good working ones don't come around that often and their resale value has really increased over the years.
Most Sellers have no idea if what they have really works, so you will most likely have to take a leap of faith with your purchase. But if you're lucky enough to get a good one and set it up properly, it will enhance your vinyl listening pleasure.
This unit works on the irritating snap,crackle, pop I have even after cleaning my vinyl records. The unit was exactly as advertised, the wood trim needed some TLC, but the unit works perfectly.
Excellent tool/device for recovering/archiving old vinyl record collections.
This is a very unique product. There's "almost nothing" like it offered today. A rare product of the era in which it was produced. There were no CD's back then. With careful application, it can be invaluable when transcribing old 'scratchy' vinyl record collections.
