'Saxon' pre-amplifier https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/135437970...3406e6ff6e6133
Never heard of them before and nothing on t'internet.
Maybe part of the New Wave Of British Amplification? I don't know. Seems to be well made and well featured though.

Someone had probably heard of it as they've gone and bought it. Good price for a decent British made balanced pre assuming it sounds good.Originally Posted by Macca

Does look very nice - and I don't think there are many remotes where you need two hands!

Not eBay, or in the UK, but anyone after some Anos speakers?

Go well with my poomueK receiver that has the feet on the top (for some reason).

Never heard of Anos. Are they any good, would they sound any better if used upside-down?
There was a reported case of a reviewer for The Absolute Sound magazine finding that an item of equipment sounded better when used upside-down. I think it was a (separate) power supply for use with a preamp, the latter of which would be sitting on top, but the reason turned out to be easily explained: the top cover of the case was made of aluminium, whereas the bottom was made of steel; which offered better screening of any mains generated hum.

Nah, if you turn them upside down they just sound like some bog-standard Sony speaker.
