The Moth amplifier series are probably hard to beat for British understatement. Simple black box with 2 cm thick wooden board as front. The only luxury is the red "Power On" LED.  
+
Die Moth Verstärkerserie sind an britischem Understatement wohl kaum noch zu unterbieten. Einfache schwarze Kiste mit 2 cm dickem Holzbrett als Front. Einziger Luxus ist die rote "Power On" Leuchtdiode.  
  
−
The preamp is passive, i.e. it needs no power supply, but has all necessary inputs.  
+
Der Vorverstärker ist passiv, d.h. er benötigt keine Stromversorgung, hat aber alle notwendigen Eingänge.  
−
For the phono enthusiast there is another box with an RIAA equalizer (phono preamp) with two different power supplies to choose from. The 12 VA power supply comes as a plug-in power supply (as far as I know), the 100 VA power supply in the same box as the power amp.
+
Für den Phonofreund gibt es ein weiteres Kistchen mit einen RIAA Entzerrer (Phonovorverstärker) mit zwei unterschiedlichen Netzteilen zur Auswahl. Das 12 VA Netzteil kommt als Steckernetzteil (soviel ich weiss), das 100 VA Netzteil im gleichen Gehäuse wie die Endstufe.

+
* und als 3-teilige 2 x 100 W Monoendstufe, wobei die beiden Netzteile in ein drittes Gehäuse ausgelagert sind.

So far, everyone I've shown them to has been thrilled by the sound of these little boxes. Unfortunately hardly to get in Germany.

Vom Klang dieser kleinen Kistchen waren bisher alle begeistert, denen ich sie vorgeführt habe. Leider in Deutschland kaum zu bekommen.
