What are those power tubes? They look like EL32. What amp is that? I see the top cap as an integral part of the amp.

It is made by a company by the same name. They have some very interesting amps and most of all, they started out as a transformer maker for OEM and it is quite popular in China.Very interesting amp. I was wondering who made that but Google is the answer. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32867374607.html
I have 2 pairs of Mullard EL32. Smoke glass (CV1052) and clear glass (VT52) that I use in Ultimate - either as drivers or power tubes. Both work very well. Had the straight glass but I sold it. That's a shame. Should have kept it.

I also have both the Mullard VT52 ST clear glass and CV1052 straight glass as well as the GE Canadian made Marconi VT52 black straight glass. Not that I have heard a lot of GE tubes but this is one that sounds really good. Dont tell @bcowen ......
Check out this amp also made by themI wanted to buy the CV1052 straight glass again but then I stop myself. Do I need to buy every tube under the sun? I have enough and will never get to use all of them.
Don't worry about @bcowen . I haven't seen him for ages. Probably happily retired with his GE tubes. I don't bag GE tubes. I use a GE 5U4G. See picture.
I spy some RFT. Nice tubes.
