Probably sounds fantastic. Just out of curiosity, are there any other branches of technology that demonstrate such bizarre U-turns/renaissance periods as studio kit does with tubes ? Are there any other manufacturing industries as deperate to pick up where they left off fifty years ago ?

The tubes are overkill--I appreciate that type of build quality, but yeah, if you had a tube go out, it would probably be a real drag to locate it. Unfortunately, for all the build quality in the world, you never really know how it sounds until you've recorded great players through great equipment, and then started to mix on it.Actually the website says something about this. If a tube goes out, the channel has a light that lets you know it's out, and only that channel becomes inoperative, but the rest of the board continues to function. The tubes are supposed to last something like 40,000 hours before needing to be replaced.

I would buy this console, but people would think I was just compensating for a small penis.
