Installing The Tubes - CANARY AUDIO CA-303 Owner's Manual

INSTALLING THE TUBES

Be sure the amplifier is OFF before installing any tubes.
Avoid touching the tubes with bare hands to prevent skin oils from depositing on
the glass surface of the tubes.
Insert each tube in the corresponding socket. Refer to Diagram 1.1 for further
clarification.
The 6SN7 tubes are inserted into sockets designated as V5 and V6. Align the
center key of the tube base with the slot in the center of the socket. Carefully push
down the tube into the socket with a gentle rocking motion until it is firmly seated.
The 12AX7 tube is inserted into sockets designated as V7. Be sure to align the

attention to the tube pins and socket holes for these tubes. Identify the two
