DISA tube preamp

Does anyone have experience with or heard about these preamps?
They were made in Denmark in the 1960's for danish broadcasting.
I just got offered a pair but they seem to be very rare nowadays.

Ok.
By the way, thank you AMIEL for leading me on the Focal track! I just bought a pair of Focal solo6 - amazing monitors! They totally wiped the ADAM, Genelecs and Dynaudios away after testing. That's another story/thread...

Hi! I got this info:
Manley Based the Manley Stereo Variable-Mu Limiter Compressor on the old Danish DISA limiter....that sounds interesting.
the preamp my friend have is the Disa 91B21 ..and he said have a classic european vintage sound.
I think if are in working conditions you could get a very interesting piece!

keep me posted!

I've seen some of the old tube stuff on ebay once. It looked nice in a V76 kind of way.
