Does anyone ever retube Sonic Frontier preamp. SFL2?


Do you know how to rebalance the new tubes or has instruction how to do it? Thanks

There are two small bias trim pots next to each of the two banks of tubes; however, do not touch them unless you have a voltmeter and have the instructions from Sonic Frontiers that they will fax to you. If you order the matched sets from Sonic Frontiers, they will include a drawing of these trim pots and where you should set them for the tubes you are getting from them.

However, I understand that it is not critical, and you can just leave them alone. If you get tubes from another source, I would not touch them, unless you do the voltmeter procedures outlined by Sonic Frontiers.

When I asked Kevin of Upscale Audio, he said he has never touched them or adjusted them and the replacement tubes he has sold have worked fine.
