Well, the first one (black) - Agate:  deep but tight bass, much air and ethereal, while full with music and power. Actually, this is my favorite amplifier. Anode voltage is 450V.
For the second (white) - Equinox: exploding dynamics, uncompromising presence across the audible range, with very solid bass foundation, natural and vibrant vocals, subtle and unobtrusive high with excellent resolution. Anode voltage here is 650V.
Very nice, I dont know the GMI-11 works w/''low'' tension as 650V.
What is the chassis table white material? Just read its stone!
I have never see it in a amp before.

In view of the 6C33 and GM70 success do you plan any amp w/these tubes?

6C33C/6C18C was one of the first "starting" power (more than 10W output power) tubes for me. But except higher output power they are nothing special in sound. I tried different drivers, different working points, but overall sound was blurred, slow and without emotion. Yes, the bass and vocals was great, but.... not my tube, sorry. GMI11 is much-much more better than 6C33C in every aspect (when we talking about sound properties). For me 6C33C is closed page. About GM70... Well, have you listened to well constructed G811/RCA811 SE amplifier? Or for example GK-71 SE amplifier? I don`t need 1200V for GM70 in home, to gain 20-30W of power - no, thanks ;-)
811 in "super triode connection" (like darlington in transitors) in all my 811 amplifiers sounds great and is easy to drive (last picture).
Best regards,
Georgi

Thanks Georgi, beautiful photos.
I read the GK71 do great music at 800Vdc.
Do you think the 6C18 are reliable as the 6C33?

6C33C is military version of 6C18C and therefore must be more durable and with longer life. But the sound signature is the same as 6C33C.

Here's an old photo of when I first got my M125 monoblocks up and running! I keep meaning - and subsequently forgetting - to take an updated photo of the whole system

A_shah, thank you! It took patience to get them to look how I envisioned them. They do sound remarkable, although I think my AC expenses have gone up a smidget :lol:
