Anybody know the Descartes amp?


Saw a ad for a Descartes amp with the number JC-96B. Beefy looking piece of gear. In addition the spkr posts had the name Auditor on them. Don't know if these were after market posts that the company used. Any help would be appreciated. Enjoy the music!

Don't know nothing about Descarte amp but I like Pascal amps better with the beaufiful engraves on the face-plate :" Le coeur a des raisons que la raison ne connait pas"
The answers so far ARE respectable. Philosophy, French, what more could you want?
You know there are lots of pieces out there that are real sleepers. I'm sure you all know of a few. Perhaps this one?
