What do Combined Single Board owners say about the music ?
Chris "I was expecting an improvement with this new single board, but I wasn't prepared for its ability to give my humble gear such an abundance of power packed, 3d atmospheric music with the subtle intricacies of a live performance. It's been an unforgettable experience for me" Rob QLD
Hi Chris "The Energy the music has is just phenomenal, it’s like I have replaced my whole system with the gains in sound energy.
I really cannot describe it any more than a massive boost in energy, giving everything more realism, drive, feeling, etc. etc. The sound stage I haven’t had like this before everything has jumped out from behind each other and separated.
Well done Chris, couldn’t imagine there would be much left in your development to draw anything more out of it! " Murray NZ

Why does StereoCoffee SQ performance keep improving ?
As a lifelong music enthusiast and DIYer, my goal for over 20 years has been to enjoy recorded music exactly as it was captured — and to share that experience affordably with other DIY audio lovers. This pursuit led to the creation of my StereoCoffee passive LDR attenuator.
Encapsulated LDRs offered a rare chance to pass audio from source to amplifier with no mechanical contacts in the switching or volume stages — removing a common source of signal interference.
Many LDR attenuators have appeared and disappeared, but StereoCoffee has continually evolved through dozens of key refinements and remains strong after two decades.
My main focus has been on optimising the power supply to get the best performance from the LDRs, using only two LDRs between each input and output in the signal path.
The result is a set of complex, highly tuned power supplies that deliver the ideal balance of clean current and shunt control for a wide range of sources, loads, to reproduce superb 'spacial dynamics' from your system at a LOW COST.

StereoCoffee SPATIAL DYNAMICS explained
Live performances create rich, complex dynamics from every direction—front, rear, sides, ceiling, and floor.
These vibrant details are captured in recordings but often sound flattened during playback.
StereoCoffee hand-builds passive DIY preamplifier kits that restore this spatial energy, revealing audio dynamics, natural reverberation, and musical enjoyment you may not have realised you were missing.
We’re dedicated to delivering lifelike sound that helps you fall in love with music again—perfect for audiophiles, music lovers, and anyone who values a more immersive listening experience.
A live performance is never a smooth sine wave; it’s full of peaks, dips, and bursts of raw energy shaped by the ambience of the recording space.
OWNER TIPS: Good quality audio interconnects are recommended for optimum performance. Australian made Aurealis interconnects don't interfere with the signal and are used by several customers because of their high quality and reasonable cost.
The world of DIY is your oyster! The stereoCoffee is inexpensive and easy to build so why not have some fun squeezing every drop of audio pleasure from your system !

IMPORTANT ORDERING INFO
Every StereoCoffee kit is individually HAND BUILT and tested by myself and NOT mass produced but the price has been kept highly affordable.
Your kit can take UP TO THREE DAYS to complete and some kits are customised. This can cause delays to orders because of the additional time taken so please be patient as I operate as a one man business and I can’t always respond to questions immediately.
The StereoCoffee is an item that can’t be rushed but I guarantee the wait will be worthwhile. Quality can’t be rushed.
Thank you for your understanding,
Chris Daly
