Love taking pics of the gear

Hello , what product is that? I love how clean and organized it is. Real. Thought went into that.
 
a helpful explanation. Do you notice any variability in power delivered to your home (if you have tracked that from the front panel) and/or sound variability (day vs. night, for example)?
Thank you very much. We have a reasonably stable electricity grid in Germany. Nevertheless, there are fluctuations in the voltage. On the GigaWatt PC-3 SE EVO+, I see fluctuations of between 233 and 237 volts throughout the day.

Devises can handle this well. Pulse peaks are more disruptive, for example when the washing machine or vacuum cleaner draws power.

The GigaWatt Power Conditioner isolates these fluctuations very well. I don't notice any difference when listening, regardless of whether it's day or night or whether a large consumer is connected to the power distribution.

I've received both Select and Reserve versions of the Ray Tubes 6SN7's to try in the BAT VK80i and the Viva Solista.

Here is a picture of the Reserve versions being run-in.

You can see they are a different shape and color from the traditional Russian ones that are more slender and completely flat sided.

Do you have any impressions/feedback on those Ray Reserve 6SN7's? Thinking of trying out a pair. For now I mainly use a mix of Linlai E-6SN7 and RCA VTA 231 grey glass tubes.

I tried the Select ones but haven't tried the Reserve ones yet. I've been behind on a lot of listening I need to do. Sorry.

Even looks like an early nuclear power plant.
Beautiful industrial design regardless.
