When headphones are plugged in to the Vali 2, the preamp outputs are muted—as in, they are silent. 3 Headphone jack. Plug your headphones in here. Feel free to use adapters for 2 headphones, or 1/8” to 1/4” adapters. One caveat: some 1/8” to 1/4” adapters either do not work with TRRS headphones (usually headphones and earbuds with microphones or other controls), so if you get distorted output with an adapter, your adapter may be the problem. controls & connectIons 1 2 Before using the amp, insert the tube. Push firmly down to ensure it is well-seated. Vali 2 uses any 6DJ8, 6922, ECC88, 6N23P, and 6BZ7 tube types. To swap tubes: 1. Turn off the amplifier. Wait for the tube to cool—tubes run pretty warm! 2. Carefully extract the tube by gently rock- ing it back and forth and pulling upwards. 3. Carefully insert the replacement tube. Align the pins to the socket and press down firmly. 4. Turn the amplifier back on. After the relay engages, you should hear music. Follow this same procedure when replacing tubes that are worn out from use. Tubes last about 5,000 hours typically. tube Info
