| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Joe. To the best of my knowledge....The 6c45 is a russian military tube with no direct sub. I have a very limited background with russian equivalents. Sorry. | |
| How good is my amplification? Advice please. Hello Nickway. The speaker choice and the size of your new room should dictate your choice of amplification.
