| Want to make sure I have the correct settings for my phono pre-amp Try the Low outputs for the interconnects. I think you'll find you have less distortion and better control over the volume.

| Which taps? Let your ears be the judge. It won't hurt the amp or your speakers to try both taps. With both of the tube amps I've owned, I found that I preferred the 4 ohm taps with most speakers I used, regardless of their rating. Seemed to have more body. |
