They're used as a resistor.
They also show if everything is working. If they don't turn on than you know something is wrong.

Thanks. Excuse my ignorance in the subject, but why not just use a typical resistor?
Edit: Zashoomin, that is a plus.
INDEED!
A few tube enthusiasts have opined to me that they found the Ken Rad 6C8G (RPs) to sound fairly similar to the (famed) Ken Rad 6SN7 (RPs). Now, I've haven't had a chance to actually hear the highly regarded 6SN7 version.. but if the sound of the 6F8G variant is any indication, the 6SN7 version must certainly be something special. The 6F8G's bass is definitely punchy and impactful.. w/ the focus being on the sub bass rather than the midbass. The treble has a smooth, balanced (in reference to the midrange) presence and good depth Treble is crisp & complimentary to the addictive bass and deep, engaging midrange. It's certainly in the top two or three favorite tubes I've rolled into the Crack.
Wow!
Finished my Crack today. I'm a first time diy guy and noob with the soldering iron. Luckily, the only mistake I made was a backwards rectifier, blew a fuse. Honestly I'm quite proud of myself.
With my HD650s, I first listened to some Waylon Jennings, Ronnie Milsap, and Allison Krauss, immediately noticing tighter bass and amazingly clearer instrument separation opposed to my fiio e11.
Very well done on the Crack Doc. B, wonderful investment.
Congrats man and enjoy. Once the DIY bug bites it doesn't let go. Don't say I didn't warn you
You should have no problem running a 240-volt crack in your country.
You can go to the Bottlehead website, put a crack in the cart and it will calculate the shipping cost.
How much is the Lightspeed? I assume there are multiple options, so if you could describe yours and how much it cost, that would be great.
Thanks,
Adam
Cool, thanks for the info and links!
Best regards,
