Installation of Vacuum Tubes

After removing the top cover and the vacuum tubes packed
in protective foam, see the accompanying illustrated sheet
for instructions on installing the tubes for your Reference 5
in  their  proper  locations  in  the  power  supply  and  audio 
section. Note that the numbers written on each tube corre-
spond to a “V” number printed on the circuit board next to
each tube socket. Insert each tube firmly, carefully aligning
the tube pins with the corresponding socket holes.

Also  remove  the  pad  from  behind  the  gold-and-red 
capacitors  on  the  rear  circuit  board:  this  pad  protects  the 
capacitors  from  movement  during  shipping.  Save  the  pad
and  the  foam  for  the  tubes,  as  well  as  all  other  packing 
materials, for possible use in future shipment of your pre-
amplifier.  Replace  the  top  cover  before  plugging  in  and
turning on your Reference 5.
