Midas >10000 euro preamp?

A friend showed me this today https://www.thomann.de/gb/midas_microphone_preamplifier_501.htm

It sound a bit expensive to me.  It is kind of funny that the other model 502 cost 160euros.
Where I can find that snake oil?

That's because the wood box it comes in is an exotic white ebony from Northern Histaria. The unit itself only costs 60 bucks.

I know why it is so expensive, it is the first original design Berheringer ever made

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

On a more serious note, the 502 seems like a bang for the buck thou.

It's Linux joke. 501 = admin, 502 = user.

I'm waiting for the root version  8)

lets do a group buy of a single channel and then clone it We can even copy the circuit boards with a copier and then import them into a computer to draw the PCB artwork. ;D

This is kind of stale.

They have one of the best desktop digital mixers around these days and an analog poly synth to easily rival Korg. Just of the top of my head. Despite to generic crap they put out they do have departments that are capable of mixing and using the knowledge of the numerous higher end companies they have bought.

Phool and his money is soon pharted.

A mic preamp with a "warm" switch is aiming for a phunny customer.

Good luck, maybe he is hoping to sell one each to competitors to take apart and reverse engineer... pass.  8) 

Next month he'll advertise that the new Midas console uses the same EU10k preamps inside...and not be lying.  :
