The Pye Black Box hi-fi record player was a milestone design which seems to have touched the lives of everyone involved in audio from the mid-1950s to the mid-’60s. It arrived at a time when quality listening was becoming a pursuit in itself but much of the equipment on the market was too complicated for the non-technically minded user. The Black Box, on the other hand, made everything simple – all you had to do was to put it somewhere, plug it in and off it went. At a time when even FM radio was a thing of the future its performance was a revelation. If you were a music lover who wanted something small and neat you simply had to have one.
