That would be the Perfectone, actually made in Switzerland.  We had one for
awhile in TC5 at Complete Post/Hollywood, but I think it eventually
disappeared into the recesses of Complete Sound.  I doubt that it's been
used for years, though.

It had much less wow & flutter than an off-shelf Magnatech, but was a
temperamental beast to set up and maintain.  Once it was working, though, it
sounded terrific.  It should, given that the Perfectone cost about 50% more
than a MagnaTech (like around $35K with all the head stacks).
