The appearance fully corresponds to the photo. Neat installation and soldering. The body is heated up to 45 GR., pre-gain lamps up to 80 gr., output up to 130 gr. The protective mesh of the lamps does not interfere with the appearance of the lamps when the light is turned off. The first listening left a good impression, Bowers & Wilkins 685 S2. There is no background in the columns, but at the output to the headphones it is.
