Lehmann Audio Black Cube Question


I just purchased a Black Cube and judging from the serial number it's one of the earlier ones. It doesn't have the dip switches on the bottom of the unit and I just wanted to make sure it was legit. I have a limited amount of time to file a dispute through PayPal if it is so I really appreciate the help. Thanks!

When the black cube was released it retailed for $350.
Stereophile reviewed it and gave it a class B rating. Soon after the retail price went to $700. Just some trivia. 
David, you have it completely backwards. In the original coverage of the Black Cube in Mr. Fremer’s column (no full review ever appeared) the price was $700:

Subsequently, the price went down, the 2007 Stereophile Buyer’s Guide shows it at $459. Though there is an SE version with upgraded power supply at $689. Although, by then, almost all of the parts had been changed and it was very different from the initial versions.

Accuracy has never been a hallmark of internet forms. Just some trivia.

DHM, all you need is a magnet to see if the case is steel or aluminum. Or you can just tell by weight.

I hope that the 78 in your handle means that you play 78s!
When 1st released the only place to buy 1 was from the Canadian importer. Price $350. I bought mine from there.
Keyboard courage has always been a hallmark of internet forums. Just some trivia.
