AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Are you ready to transform your listening experience and make your vinyls resonate like never before? The Fosi Audio BOX X2 is the technological gem crafted for music lovers who seek the true magic of analog sound. Thanks to the tube preamplification stage, this device eliminates the coldness of digital sound, giving your LPs a warm, three‑dimensional timbre with velvety vocals and enveloping bass. With the convenient front-facing gain selector with three levels (39dB, 42dB, 45dB), you can perfectly calibrate the output according to your turntable’s MM cartridge, always obtaining a clean signal free of distortion.

Why You Can’t Do Without It?
On the front there is a black knob that manages both power and gain selection (Gain):
- OFF: Powers off the device completely.
- 39 dB: Low gain level, ideal for sources with higher output signal or for high-output cartridges.
- 42 dB: Medium gain level (standard for most MM cartridges).
- 45 dB: High gain level, for cartridges with weaker output or to give more push to the amplifier.

In addition to the Phono RCA input with dedicated GND ground connector, it also features a 3.5 mm AUX input. The tubes are included and replaceable, allowing collectors and more demanding audiophiles to further customize the sound by trying different historic tubes (such as JAN 5654W).

Seller's Story

Welcome to our Catawiki store. Our journey in online sales began back in 2004, driven by a clear vision: creating online auctions dedicated to high-value objects. Today, more than twenty years later, we carry forward that exact same vision. We are proud to have remained a small, family-run business, yet operating with the solidity and scale of major industry professionals: each year, we welcome more than 100 new clients, purchase over 150 lots, and select between 3,000 and 5,000 unique items to offer you. Our commitment is reflected in everything we do, from the initial find to the final delivery to your doorstep: • A Purchase with Social Value: Buying from us means securing a great deal while actively supporting the future of young Italian students. We collaborate closely with 3 graphic design and advertising schools in Milan, Bergamo, and Lecco. We invest our time and expertise to teach these students the secrets of online sales, professional photography, and marketing. By choosing us, you are tangibly contributing to their education and career paths. • Field Research and Discovery: For years, we have been personally scouting the most remote locations across Lombardy to find unique pieces, rarities, oddities, and mid-century modern design. • We Invest Our Own Capital: We do not sell on consignment. We invest our own capital upfront to purchase and restore every single item, taking on all the risks ourselves. • Direct Dealings with No Intermediaries: We manage every single price personally. This allows us to eliminate third-party costs and ensure you get the best possible profit margin as a buyer or collector. • Meticulous Restoration and Quality Control: We get our hands dirty. Every item is carefully restored and verified with an obsessive eye for detail before going up for auction. • Secure and Eco-Friendly Shipping: To prevent inflated shipping costs and ensure indestructible packaging, my wife and I head out almost every evening, often at unusual hours, to collect heavy-duty industrial cardboard from businesses in our neighborhood. We hand-select only pre-evaluated, ultra-resistant materials to offer you maximum protection at the lowest possible cost. Choosing our lots means relying on the historic expertise of a family that has lived this passion since 2004, while investing in the next generation. Our schools and students thank you deeply for your trust. Happy bidding!
