I would not recommend this amplifier for pop and rock anyway due to its limited 18watts per channel rating. On heavier music like pop and rock, the music sounds brittle and slightly flat. Female vocals like Laura Fygi come on as very involving as the mid range is warm although not as lush as the Jolida. The amplifier also sounds very good with acoustic music, giving a very detail and musical sound. This could be attributed to the Amperex 6L6GC. For a tube amplifier, the bass is surprising stronger than my Jolida, being lean and tight as opposed to the looser bass from my 6550 driven Jolida. I used the amplifier to listen to light jazz and voclas. I would of course prepferred it if the nice glowing tubes are exposed for aesthetic as well as ventilation reasons. The looks are somewhat similar to the Oto SE. The amplifier comes with nice gold knobs on an acrylic facsia. There are one EC 83 triode, 2 6SL7 tubes and 4 6L6GC Amperex tubes. My first impression of the product was that it is handsomely made with a black casing concealing the tubes inside. This is my second tube amplifier after trying out the excellent Jolida SJ 502A which I got second hand.
