I've never heard one, but it is considered the holy grail of transformer
pres by many because though it uses transformers, it has a very
uncolored sound, offering the best of both worlds.

Of course that's all hearsay.

The best orchestra, choir, brass band, etc mic pre on the planet.

Sweet, natural and uncolored. Totally uncolored.

In a pop or jazz setting they work well on acoustic guitar, drum
overheads, kick, and piano and anywhere you want natural sound.

If you want any tone to be added by the mic pre, this is not for you.
If you want to hear your mics for the first time, you will love it.
