DI-AN was cool in a funky kind of way.
I reckon if I made a list all of the following would be in it.
Focusrite
Trident 70 (looks so nice and old school!)
Helios
Trident B
EMI
This Philips console intrigues me
MCI JH600 (mine and it's cool because it used to be Kraftwerks
)
Then obviously a nice NEVE and API...
