Best looking tube amp

  I do like the idea of getting a few extra boxes off of eBay and storing them in drawers for future upgrades/retrogrades.  

This is a good source for white tube boxes...much cheaper than eBay.

Thanks for the tip!  I'm a fan and frequent flyer of Tube Depot.  Just ordered a bunch.  The shipping was more than the cost of the boxes, but still extremely reasonable.

It's definitely a MAGNAT amplifier, though it may be a discontinued model, as their website only lists the RV 3 - http://www.magnat.de/en/home-audio/electronic-components/rv-3/

I like Marble tops, if you are going to have a heavy tube amp you might as well make it really heavy!

Look at the smooth black finish and those absolutely gorgeous meters..
The silver knob trim pots.
The tube selection is excellent .
This is the most captivating amp to me .

This amp screams deadly serious sound.
I have been looking at many amps and really learning what makes a good tube amp(tubes/transformers).
This Glenn amp has it.
