***** I have learned that the 'computer' inside this product is an "Aaeon Up" rather than a Raspberry Pi (which is what Techmoan thought it was in his video.....he has since corrected this information). However, I have not been able to identify the model of Aaeon Up computer when trying to match its layout and appearance against the models shown on the Aaeon website. An "AI search" came back with unsubstantiated information that the SC1-Mini uses a custom Aaeon computer.*****
In this video, I describe the SweetVinyl "Sugarcube" SC1-Mini Real-Time Click & Pop Removal Processor for records. My SC1-Mini is apparently one of the very first to be produced after several months on unavailability, following SweetVinyl being sold off in the aftermath of Techmoan's video about it. The serial number of mine is just a few increments higher than that of Techmoan's unit.
I show the unit's features, show internal views, describe and briefly demonstrate it operation using an example of "real" music (something where it should be apparent what undesired affect(s) the unit might have on the music [ I could detect NONE ], using a hopefully obscure enough example to avoid copyright issues. I also briefly go through the user's manual. Finally, I describe a few unfortunate firmware characteristics which I have also shared with Sweetvinyl, in hopes they they might consider a firmware upgrade.
