I just got a 3-channel dual rec. The manual is confusing.
The next line says this:
So which one is it? I went against #3 and put two of the 5u4 tubes on the far right when looking at it from behind since that's what I see in pictures on Google. I also noticed that you have to flip the manual to see it right since the text is on the outside of the preamp tubes.
PS: I read somewhere that you need 'matched' tubes, or something. I just popped mine in randomly since they weren't labeled. Do I need to worry about this?
2.) Slowly bend the spring steel tube clamps on the two (or three) far right (when viewing amp from the rear) tube sockets up so that the tubes will have to push the clamps open slightly as you install the tubes.
The next line says this:
3.) Install 5U4 Rectifier tubes in the far left (when viewing amp from the rear) tube sockets being careful to line up the guide pin on the tubes base with the slot in the respective tube socket. Then gently rock the tube back and forth while pushing downward on the tube until the tubes are seated.
