" There's a new heavyweight contender in the high-power triode class. Neither a 211 nor an 845 can hold a candle to the Russian tank tube- the Ulyanov GM-70.

We're talking about high-voltage drive conditions, hence a 300B is used as a driver tube. This amp sounded extremely sweet, yet VERY powerful."
