Hi,

Last night I was flitting Ebay when I found the most bizzare translation Iv'e ever encounted. It was for a Matisse MDS 623 Preamp. Here's a sample.

"The bile is used before the famous horseshoe Andean original principle circuit, while the layout corresponding adjustments were made when strictly respect the wiring through the principle of single point grounding, the choice of the device a lot of thought, not only broadens the frequencjy response, and has better bass extention, smooth voice, bile taste very strong, one hundred and tire." Elesewhere there's a mention of cattle! Spent the morning trying to remember who it remind me of, and then it came to me - Stanley Unwin!

Kind Regards,
Stephen

Marco I cannot provide a link with my mobile which is how I access the 'net. And the address is very long to write without mistakes. Search for 'Matisse 623 Preamp'. There is or was two listing.

Kind Regards,
Stephen

'...tone is neutral, but the kind touch of sweet, crisp, reminiscent of the little girl's laughter. He heard the female voice with a very nice crisp. "

Walker's cheese & onion, presumably...

Looks interesting but I have to say I would certainly want to see some more photographs before I hit the BIN button ;)

I was actually looking at those not so long ago... Might be a nice little budget pre but you can buy exactly the same circuit with transformer from UK sellers for around £35.
