CAT SL 1Pre. Need confirmation re: Tube Complement

GREAT help guys...thank you very much!!

It's funny, I was looking directly at a photocopy from the manual that Bombaywalla sent me, since me used pre didn't have the manual included. That page was apparently mis-labeled as there were two locations labeled V5 and none labeled V9. If I re-number them going top down, then left to right, as in the phono side, then Bombaywalla's labeling above makes perfect sense. Guess the manual had an error at some point in time.
Sorry for any confusion...Cheers,
Spencer

I see quite a few of what looks like 20 year old yellow polypropylene capacitors in my SL1. I mentioned this to my engineer and he said if this is true we will want to uprade them all.

Can anyone comment on this upgrade possibility?

Just ask Ken, it might even be serial#-dependent. Cheers,

Any advise on brands of tubes that work well in the MKii. I have read that CAT preamps will eat certain brands. Any opinions?
