VIII. Questions and Answers

What difference is there between VENTURE and standard stand-by mode?

VENTURE stand-by mode does not switch off fully the appliance. Only the power stages are shut-off. They are the main current consumers. The heart of the amplifier stays warm and operational. This allows getting the full musical quality back in about 10 to 15 minutes after waking the appliance back up. A standard switch-on of the appliance requires about 8 hours getting that same level back. The current consumption is divided by about 10 in stand-by mode. VENTURE however recommends switching the appliance fully off when leaving it unused for longer periods (holidays…).

Can the provided mains cable be changed?

The provided mains cable answers to standard norms. It can however be replaced by a high fidelity mains cable, if it answers to the same norms. A very sensitive musical gain can be heard, depending on the chosen cable. VENTURE AUDIO can help you in making this choice if preferable.

Caution: When changing this cable, please follow the polarity conditions of your country. Phase location is different for instance between US and French norms. While it would not prevent the appliance to operate, a sensitive loss could be heard (sound laid back).

Is there any specific order to switch my Hi-Fi elements on?

Absolutely. While it is not specific to VENTURE products. Always switch on the source elements first: they sometimes emit a spark at switch on, and this must not be amplified and pushed to the speakers. Then follow down the elements. We provide here under an example of a switch-on chain: CD player, decoder (DAC), preamplifier active crossovers, and then amplifiers.

To switch off, please follow the reverse order.

Is there any specific order to switch my Hi-Fi elements off?

Absolutely. While it is not specific to VENTURE products. Always switch off the source elements last: they sometimes emit a spark at switch off, and this must not be amplified and pushed to the speakers. Start from the bottom and then follow up to the source elements. We provide here under an example of a switch-off chain: amplifiers, active crossovers, preamplifier, decoder (DAC), and CD player.

To switch on, please follow the reverse order.

Heat dissipaters are very hot? Is it dangerous?

VENTURE products aim at get the maximum from all internal components. Heat dissipaters are pushed to their optimum to guarantee a maximal class A operation, as it means excellence in musical quality. However, VENTURE products follow security norms and do not push the heat beyond legal limits. There is consequently no excessive heat: contact is hot, but do not get warmer with time (once appliance is considered warm). Also, heat regulators are used to prevent any thermal runaway and this way protect the appliance. This inevitably limits the level of class A at high volumes.
