SilverSport Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) Help me out guys...I'm trying to remember...when installing Tubes in the VRDs you install the tubes the way they are shown in Craig's illustration photo or would you mirror them on the second amp???

SilverSport Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) by this I mean the 12AU7 on the left for both amps as you look at them from the front and the 12AX7 on the right for both amps and not flipping these two tubes for the second amp??? http://nosvalves.com/vrd.htm Bill Edited April 13, 2016 by silversport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schu Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I wonder why is everything else mirrored on the Monos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungkiman Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Maybe the board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul79 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) Because they are smartly laid out Speaker jacks on the outside, power in the middle, and RCA inputs on the inside. Wires don't cross! Take a look at the back panels... EVERY amp should be like this. It looks better too!! Says "custom"....

muel Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 You are correct about the mono layout. The stereo version layout actually is mirrored. From left to right in the front they are 12au7, 12ax7, 12ax7, and 12au7. They DO sound better when you put them in the correct slots!

Correct the only thing that is not mirrored is the location of those two tubes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
