Balanced Audio VK-P12SE Phonostage - Manual (Page 6)

Reseating Tubes
Normally, reseating tubes upon delivery is not required. However, if
any tubes have noticeably drifted out of position due to unusually high
transportation stress, it will be advisable to reseat the tubes. Use the
supplied Torx wrench to remove the top cover.
Reseat the tubes in their sockets and reinstall the top cover.
NOTE: When using the Torx wrench, make sure it is fully inserted so that the
screw head is not stripped.
Physical Placement
It is recommended that you provide for at least 6" of free space around the
unit for proper ventilation.
Mount the unit on a hard surface with proper ventilation underneath.
Do not stack the VK-P12SE phono stage on top of other units, nor vice
versa.
