Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Sherwood S-5000 preamp section - 3 tubes in the lines stage - what are they for and...

... should I use any particular tube in a particular position in the line stage.

Tubes, V3,V4 and V5 - what function do they have in what positions?

Is there any particular tube order to use the right tube for the right job?

I have RCA black plates, New issued TungSol's and have a Genalex (on order).

The only caveat is if I put the tungSol in V5 it hums. If I use the RCA's there is no hum. So Jim recommended I try the Genalex in the V5 position being hum is a problem.
