If we are talking knobs . . . . . . .
It would be very remiss not to mention Rappaport. I had a really good fumble with these beauties many moons ago

I agree, it reminds me of when you see things like bikes made out of wood for novelty value. Fugly. |

I doubt than will be beaten for a single knob. It’s a giant and looks well put together too

I had a Rappaport. The Pre2, bloody good pre-amp that. I kept it for years 'cos I couldn't find anything to beat it...........Until a Forte Model 2 came along! |

Only one “knob” and even then I’m stretching the description.  One of my favourite designs of all time. If I ever get a chance to own them at a sensible price they will be mine. |

How about just one knob? Here's my MingDa MC-9 TVC pre-amp (and don't even think of trying to find one, you won't unless you find old stock in China). It sounds bleedin' incredible!  |

There sre only three in the UK as far as I know. I have the first one to arrive here and my best mate has two (bought after hearing mine and now used with an EAR 861).
And Shane has heard this at my place driving the equally rare Modern Classic Tubes monos.

It’s lovely to,come across new stuff, especially when it’s so different from the “me too” boxes you see over and over.

Me too. I like lots of Ambient and Trance. Those clips remind me of one of my favourite ever video games: Rez. The music actually changed and adapted to your movements and button presses. So did the effects and colours on screen. Worth having a console just to play that one game, |

Probably not the best example from the game but later levels aren’t on vid.
