1. Before plugging in the
preamp, insert the tube.
Carefully align the key in
the tube base to the notch
in the tube socket.
2. Ensure tubes are well-seated. Push down
firmly until the tube is seated on the tube socket.
This may take a
fair amount
of force.
3. Plug it in
and turn it
on. The tube
will glow after a
few seconds, and the microprocessor will con-
nect the output after about 30 seconds.
4. Connect your sources. Connect up to 5 sources

Saga to your amp or amps using RCA cables.
6. Ensure the volume is turned down if you’re
using Saga for the first time. You don’t want any
big surprises!
Replacing or Swapping Tubes
Saga accommodates any 6SN7, 6N8S or 5692
tube type. 6SL7s also work, but have higher
distortion and higher output impedance.
1. Turn off and unplug the preamp. Wait a while
for the tube to cool.
2. Carefully extract the tube by gently rocking it
back and forth and pulling upwards.
3. Carefully insert the replacement tube. Align
the key to the notch and press down firmly until
the tube is seated.
4. Plug the preamp back in and turn it on.
