Here is the lit sucker that I told you before. It is Russian impersonisation of Telefunken AD1. It was made from 1932 to 1963. It is smaller than 2A3, the size of the larger version of AD1, has slightly less gain them AD1 and slightly more play impedance. Reportedly it has “mystical sound”. It is “mystical” because one of 4 possibilities:
1) Whoever heard it already dead
2) Whoever heard it have no idea what they are taking about
3) Damn Russkies did not save money at that time, did in fact good tubes and YO186, along with GM57 are super kinky pinnacle of Soviet tube design (and they did have phenomenal capacity to do it)
4) It has good sound but not match to best western alternatives
We will see…
