Friends,
At this time we would like to announce that a new relationship between myself/Aether Audio and NuForce has now been consummated.
Early on after the first prototypes of the Black Box were developed and user feedback received, it quickly became obvious to me that Black Box technology offered great potential for adaptation to versions accessible to the mass market. Due to a good relationship developed as a result of our previous projects together, I immediately turned to my good friends Jason Lim and Casey Ng of NuForce. With their award-winning track record, they have proven themselves time and again to be a company devoted to bringing solid technologies and high-value products to the marketplace at extremely affordable prices.
Similarly, Aether Audio is committed to developing advanced, innovative solutions to the many problems that have heretofore plagued the art and science of audio reproduction. Our mission is not only pursuing "perfection," but unlike many other high-end companies, to do so in the form of technologies that are scalable such that they can be applied to all market categories and price-points.
Together, NuForce and Aether Audio are committed to serving all market sectors by providing technological solutions that meet the needs of every consumer, regardless of their economic means. To be sure, be watching for new, innovative products being offered by both companies in the weeks, months and years to come.
In the mean time Aether Audio is now offering its own versions of the Black Box in forms that are targeted towards the devout high-end enthusiast. As such, we are no longer offering them with the same construction and price structure of the past. To be succinct, all former pricing is now "null and void." From this point forward we suggest that all parties interested in purchasing them in the price range as originally offered to contact NuForce and/or their dealers. NuForce is now offering a version they are calling the 'Magic Cube" and it provides the exact same technology as we have heretofore offered in a very attractive and flexible format.
In fact, NuForce is able to offer their version with a level of "fit and finish" that only a company of their means is able to provide. We assure you that their version offers the exact same performance as units we have previously delivered and in no way represent any form of compromise. In fact, this was one of our requirements for making the technology available to them, even though we already knew it would never be an issue. To be specific, I personally designed the internal structures of their units so as to be sure that inferior performance of any kind would never be an issue
For those that might be interested in units of a more "premium" nature, Aether Audio is now offering the Black Box in numerous configurations that can custom designed to meet your exacting requirements. All versions are constructed using Mundorf Silver-Gold internal wiring and are available with several Cardas binding post options. They can also be fitted with other custom binding posts of your choice upon special request. Several versions are also available that offer a selector switch that allows them to be adjusted for the specific system with which they are being used. Finally, mounting brackets are also available for semi-permanently attaching them to a hard surface, such as the back of your loudspeakers or wall mounting. All options including drawings and associated pricing will be available on the new Aether Audio website once it is posted, which will be any day now. In the mean time, feel free to contact us at
[email protected] if you have any questions.
Finally, we would like to thank all of our customers and many friends over the years that have so enthusiastically supported our efforts along the way. Were it not for you, none of this would be possible now. Together, Aether Audio and NuForce look forward to serving you for many years to come.
Sincerely,
Bob Smith
Aether Audio/NuForce
