Hifimatt: It is a very simple soldering job that can be done by any local tech in a matter of minutes for a minimal charge. The tubes are also quite inexpensive to replace.
Audio Aero Capitole-Changing Tubes
I have been reading about the Capitole and while it sounds like it would be incredible to own, I have learned that the tubes are hard wired to the board so that changing them requires soldering a new set on (supposedly). Is that true? What is one supposed to do when the tubes need changing? I would never attempt this myself. Would appreciate hearing from Capitole owners as to what you did. Thanks.
