Check out all those transformers in signal path in latest "all Neve" mixer.
One way to achieve a 'euphonic sound' I guess (at what price phase integrity?).
But certainly copy-proof as you "must have" the Neve transformer (unavailable no doubt).
At one point claiming discrete OP amps, then single-ended (perhaps both)
And how much negative feedback? Isn't that a 'bad thing'?

Like the holy grail of audiophile Amps, the W.E.'86',(1934) - 3 Transformers & no feedback!
And impossible to clone because "only (pre-war) W.E. transformers will do"!
Heck, "only Western Electric 300B's will sound right" - not other 300B's -
Or even the ones from W.E.'s own reactivated assembly line!
(now closed again as audiophiles reject anything but those from old plant!)
