All-valve desks are popular too.
Care to define popular? ;-)

The TL Audio one has sold a few hundred, which is not bad for pro audio.
It's a fact that a lot of producers use the euphony of valves for some or
all of the recording process. No big deal though.

I'm old enough to remember all valve desks, and even a fairly small one
had an equipment room full of bays.

Only a true nutcase would go back to that - given it offers no possible
advantages. Apart from on the advertising blurb to the gullible.;-)

All valve in the signal chain, not necessarily in power supplies etc. :-)
Saying it has "no possible advantages" implies that all producers who hear a
difference with valves, and like the difference, are imagining it, which
clearly is a rather large claim to make.

But then we knew that anyway :-).
