This blue lighting is like a traffic accident.
It's terrible, but you stare at it...

Or...
Golf 4 :

 

[Ultrainferno]

It's white light on a black background actually

The White light on Black background is a lot nicer than the yellow one on the Ha-6a and Ha300mk1 imo

 

[JAFHIFI90]

Oh boy, the color black is so charming and elegant.
What a pity I wish HA-6A had this black magic.

 

[BowWazoo]

I see, so it was the wrong white balance of the camera.
Anyway, I hope that this lighting can be switched off.
The last thing I need at night, during a listening session, are bright (white) LEDs...
At such a moment, I just want to see the warm glow of the tubes...

 

[Ultrainferno]

That's a negative

That's a negative

Dimmable lights like Yamaha did with the A-S series would definitely be nice to have. Or at least a option to turn it off

Far too little power.

 

[ThanatosVI]

Not a bad pricepoint unless distributors butcher it again

Yes, it won't drive your HE6se satisfactory, I did mention this at a very early stage.

Just in case some readers are not familiar with this topic, the driving capability of a transformer-coupled vacuum tube amplifier is more related to the design and implementation of the output transformer, if someone is making their judgment based on the rated output alone, he/she is not seeing the complete picture.

On the other hand, the driving capability of a transformer-coupled vacuum tube amplifier is more related to the design and implementation of the output transformer, if you are making your judgement based on the rated output alone, you are not seeing the complete picture.

How about something like aeon Noire, ether, meze liric/ empyrian?

 

[Ultrainferno]

It has no issues with Elite / Empyrean

How about something like aeon Noire, ether, meze liric/ empyrian?

From a power Standpoint it has more than any Meze will ever need.
