The 6CS7 tubes are from the 70s, and the driver tubes are from the 80s. Both sets aquired as New Old Stock (NOS).

Congratulations on POTW
That's a beast of a HiFi amp!

Thank you
I also dropped over to your site, very nice indeed
But...
I've known them as Valve Amps.... that's what me (I am a guitarist) and every other guitarist, sound engineer, guitar tech, roadie, and... i say this with regret.... bass players (:lol I have run in to call them!
At the beginning there was nothing... which exploded
Congrats on POTW, nice and original, looks good in B&W.
Thank you
Love this!!!

Thank you - and good point! American English seems to favour 'tubes', whereas British English favours 'valves', both words of Latin origin, 'valva' vs' 'tubus'.
Here in Denmark, I've mostly been exposed to the American usage, so I've used 'tubes' in the description.The manufacturer of the amplifier, Japanese Leben Hi-Fi Stereo Company, use 'tube' on their website and manuals. So both should work
Google has 5.5 million hits for 'tube amplifier' vs '527,000 for 'valve amplifier'.
On a related note, most of the common tube/valve varieties have two designations, e.g. 'ECC82' in European usage vs '12AU7' in US usage.
Fascinating. Not only the subject but the way you've captured it. Well deserved POTW.
Thank you
