The Elysian Monoblock Amplifiers
Where the Queen of triodes Meets the Power of Creation
On behalf of Trafomatic, we are proud to introduce Sasa Cocik’s newest flagship amplifier. The Elysian GM-70 monoblocks are Sasa’s 38th successful amplifier design and represent the union of single-ended triode purity and transformer mastery. Each monoblock delivers 65 watts/channel using two GM-70 power tubes configured in parallel single-end mode, making it suitable for driving a variety of the world's finest loudspeakers.

Driving the power tubes is the legendary AD1 meshplate, considered by many to be the queen of DHT triodes. The tube’s output is passed through a transformer-coupled interstage, a purist approach reserved for only the most ambitious designs that ensures exceptional energy transfer, phase coherence, and harmonic purity. At the input stage, the unsurpassed 6SN7 tube delivers Elysian’s signature sound, combining delicacy, balance, and spatial detail.
|
|
| |
What distinguishes Trafomatic electronics, including their equally accomplished preamplifiers, is their in-house hand-wound transformers. Founded nearly 30 years ago as a transformer manufacturer, Trafomatic has grown into one of the most respected tube-electronics firms in Europe and Asia. |
|
| |
The Elysian is a no-compromise amplifier that retains the power and magic of the larger Elysium monos in a more approachable, room-friendly design. For those seeking a complete Trafomatic single-ended amplification chain, the Tara 30a balanced preamplifier, powered by four Emission Labs 30a tubes, is the perfect match. |

Alan Sircom, Editor-in-Chief of HiFi+
remarked about the Elyium:
"The Trafomatic Audio Elysium isn’t just for those who sit in front of a system for hours and hours on end and want to extract the last scintilla of performance and musical enjoyment from their systems. It’s for those for whom music is their lifeblood and want to feel that pumping through their veins." |
|
| |
All Trafomatic products are backed by a three-year parts-and-labour warranty and serviced at our Southern California service centre. Music lovers looking for their last amplifier and a serious interest can call to schedule an in-store or in-home evaluation as early as January 2026.
