Here's a photo of what I'm talking about.

I find that inexcusable of the manufacture to make a unit that uses 300Bs and won't use the original 300b that all had that guide pin. All Western Electric 300Bs had that pin. 300b tube sockets used to have a metal sleeve with a slot in it to prevent the tube from being plugged in wrong.
This picture is of a modern 845/211 tube socket. I show it because it has the guide sleeve I am speaking of.
It looks like your preamp has a "beauty ring" causing the problem.
Again, inexcusable of the manufacture.

Why?
Who knows?
When was the last time Philips made capacitors? I thought they sold that division years ago. Strange to see them in a new product.
Because they are morons. That's why.

The amp in question is a Chinese product. What more needs to be said? My 211 SETs have beauty rings too, but they'll accept any properly-constructed 211. Sorry, I don't have a lot of sympathy for this sort of thing.
