installation procedure

The following materials and tools are needed to perform the installa- tion of the Nº32 Phono modules into the Nº32 Preamplifier:

1 – Nº32 reference preamplifier

1 – pair Nº32 phono preamp modules

1 – wrist strap for ESD protection

1– 3⁄32" hex driver

1– 5⁄64" hex driver

1– 5⁄32" hex key

2– 10-32 socket head cap screws

Carefully perform the following procedure after having read it through at least once from start to finish; taking it one step at a time should make it quite simple. Photographs are provided along the way for refer- ence.

Note that if you intend to use the custom loading binding posts, you will have to remove and reinstall the phono modules. If by chance you know exactly what loading resistor you would like to use, you may want to jump ahead to Installing a Custom Load, later in the manual, and return to this section afterward. (Most people will find the stan- dard assortment of loading options quite comprehensive.)

1.Place the Nº32 reference preamp on suitable work area

Ideally, the work area itself should be grounded and static-free. It should also be clear of small parts and other items that might get in the way. Have a separate area prepared ahead of time for laying out the disassembled parts during the procedure. (A soft towel laid on a table works well to keep screws from rolling off onto the floor.)

2.Remove DC power cables from the Nº32 Preamplifier

There is no need to disconnect the Nº32 Controller from the AC mains, although there is no real harm in doing so, either. either way, however, you must disconnect the DC power cables between the Controller and the Preamplifier, allowing the Preamplifier to “float” with respect to ground.
