If you have never handled a valve/tube before be careful – they
are similar in properties to a light bulb and just as easily breakable.
In use they can run as hot as a light bulb –
SO BE CAREFUL
.
The smaller 5687, E88CC or 6922 valve/tube will only fit one way
around into its respective socket. Before inserting check that the
pins are straight and that there is no physical damage to the glass
envelope. A small downward push is all that is needed to insert the
valve/tube make sure that the pins align and that the orientation is
correct.
The larger rear valve/tubes EL34 or KT88. Both valve/tubes, when
viewed from underneath have a notch and will only fit one way into
the socket. Look at the socket and align the valve so that the notch
aligns with the notch on the socket when viewed from above with
the front facing you. A small downward push is required to insert
correctly. Do not use excessive force.
All Audion valve/tubes are dynamically selected and where
applicable are supplied as matched pairs. All are supplied with a
six (6) month return to base warranty.
