    Rudistor amp question

    Last time I visited rudistor web site, I found highest model is RP6-DQ, but I have visited the site today RP-6DQ has disappeared and RP5.1 was highest. Why RP-6DQ has been removed in web site? Another question, Is there big difference between RP5.1 and RP5CAV? Please answer. Thanks.

    Is this sale for preparation of next amp line-up which will replace max, blockhead, etc or just because they have too many stock as a rumor said? Other rumour also said headroom is also going to produce and sell tube amp. is it right?
