KLH Burwen TNE 7000A Transient Noise Eliminator

Hello.  Does anyone have any experience with this unit?  I recently bought one and am not sure if it's working properly (I really don't hear it making any impact on my records).  Perhaps I'm not setting it up properly.  Also how do you all feel about using this along with the SAE 5000A unit (I understand this is better for the louder single pops).

Thanks

... whenever the transient noise eliminator LED lit, I heard a tick (although it could have been a hole in the music from the removal of a noise impulse). If this is the case, should I hear this hole in the music?
No, you should not hear a "hole in the music." The TNE uses a "bucket-brigade" type delay to replace the click so that there’s no audible effect from removing the click. If you hear a click every time the LED is lit, either the clicks exceed the ability of the TNE to remove them, or the TNE needs service. In proper use, it’s very difficult to detect that the TNE is in the circuit.

I still have one of these stashed away in a closet! I’m pretty sure you don’t want to daisy-chain the KLH to another transient noise eliminator.

I consider these items obsolete, because it’s easier to digitally fix the problems they address. But the KLH TNE does work. What makes you think it’s not working? It should reduce the pops and clicks on your records. But these units are old, so if it’s not working, it’s also possible that it’s just past its useful life.
