    What kind of pre is it?

    http://www.thetubestore.com/noslist-6types.html

    The link will take you to all variances of a 6 type of gain tube. The 6X4 is a rectification tube and you can also fine them on the cheap at the tube store.

    Hvae fun.

    Looks like a nice one, especially for the $$$. Hope everything works out. Tell us when you get it in. Your stepping into to the world of audio nirvana.
