You may be right about the company name - Stalin did indeed have a daughter named Sveta. He and she did not get along at all - She married a Jew and her father disowned her. They were at odds through her whole life, kind of similar to the relationship he had with his mother. But perhaps he ordered the name of the company after his daughter for appearances sake. He tried to give the impression of being a loving father and son, although he was neither. He also tried to give the impression of strength and virility when, there again, he had neither. I guess the guy was built for politics.

Hey, on another note, you having any nibbles on the 10A preamp? It sure looks like an excellent deal.
