Blues models.
These are designed in the
more typical appearance, in
which we see the tubes and
can guess the transformers
at the rear. While this de-
sign is a delight to any au-
diophile, normal music lovers
will struggle a little, because
these amplifiers do not fit
in a normal rack, cannot be
stacked with other audio

It is a real tube amplifier, but
in a classic amplifier hous-

tubes for the output power
stage (the famous EL-34B).
These are hand-picked,
which may sound unbeliev-
able, but it makes sense.
Despite the utmost care in
the production of the tubes,
it is impossible to produce
two tubes with absolutely
identical properties. Valeriy
therefore checks personally
