Straight out of the box doesn't work.

Just received my new Prima Luna EVO 400. Heavy thing, looks good. Took the foam off the tubes, only on the power tubes. Nothing on the small tubes. I'm new at this, don't know what they are called. I did notice some of the tubes were a little crooked so I seated them in a little better. However ( you new that was coming) two of the small tubes on the right kind of wooble. Did I spell that right? What the hell plugged in and red light on the right side. It doesn't work right out of the box. Going back tomorrow. Just wanted to let ya know. Going to go through the recommendations again. Good night.

@knighttodd, 
 Good decision! If you have the inclination to do so,  would you post your listening impressions of the ARC REF 75SE and the Primaluna.
Best wishes,

wobbling tubes do not sound good do the tubes have bent or damaged pins on the bottom of them check the wobbly ones first but check all of them and make sure they all go where they came out of do one at a time but tubes should not wobble at all my guess is tube damage.

The CCP makes very good stuff. Take covid for instance. Very efficient and effective.
