While I agree that this console is over the top, let's not forget that
well designed audio tube electronics can perform at least as well as
their discrete and integrated conterparts, and are often much more
"musical", as witnessed by any of the recordings from Waterlily
Acoustics:

WA use gear designed by Tim deParavacini of EAR,

circuit design.
