Its a 833 tube amplifier. Don't know what manufacturer. Came across that tube when WAVAC of Japan showcased it in their anniversary/reference amp which was priced at $350K.

Very interesting. Are the black casings parts of the amp, or do they belong to other audio gears? I suppose the price ($350k) stands for two units, as shown on the picture?

Yes, each channel comprises of not 2 but 4 boxes: IS-833 - isolation transformer, TB-833 - power transformer, PS-833 - that contains the rest of the power supply, SH-833 - the main amplifier.

Her is a review from Stereophile back in 2004: https://www.stereophile.com/tubepoweramps/704wavac/index.html

You're welcome! But the biggest I know that is currently in production is the GM 100. Like this Manron Delta SE-150m

Tough to follow an Orpheus,but.. Jadis 4 chassis JA-500, bit of overkill they make some cheapies under $15k that do well too....
