Just use a small hex/allen wrench to loose the set screw (counter-clockwise to loosen). Then use the opposite to tighten the set screw on the new knob.

@RyHi-FiGuy The price looks good but I'm pretty sure those are the same tube as I had recently gotten; of which, unfortunately came at the bottom of my list amongst twelve 6SN7 tubes. Check out my impressions of these tubes here. My 3 favorite 6SN7 tubes I've tried by far are the 
Sylvania 6SN7 GTA (phenomenal clarity, timbre, energy), 
Sylvania JAN CHS 6SN7 WGT (same as last but slightly less bass), and 
Raytheon 6SN7 GT Black Plate (same as last but possibly a bit lower THD).

Geez, I thought I'm done buying a hybrid amp as I'm very happy with G3 made by Indeed Hifilab. It sounds Amazing with LCD and sennheiser phones.

Now I'm curious to see if Ember will be an improvement over G3. Does anyone know? Thanks

i am very interested in the comparison because of the price diffeerence.. and this amp can drive 7193 tubes with a double adapter i guess.... it has a pream/out....but you cannot tweak gain and resistance for any headphones ...i wait for the comparisom.... its like an Ember for the poorer...

I'm hoping the answer is "Very well indeed!". The Ember certainly has the power, at least on paper. I would think it would be down to the valve. The variable output resistance should help to tame the high's a bit too.
 
I see HD 800's in my future but it's going to be a couple of years away yet. It would be good to not need to upgrade my amp too.
