Correct power phase

Due to the asymmetric structure of the power transformer winding, it is very important to correctly plug Primo CD according to the power phase. Only one of the two possible power pluggings guarantees the best playback performance. The difference between the correct and the incorrect plugging results in sound clarity, dynamic and tridimensionality. To understand which plugging is the most efficient for playback, it is sufficient to listen to the produced sound. If you prefer to instrumentally check it, please use a phase- detecting screwdriver: the correct plugging is the one that doesn’t make the screwdriver led light on or makes it light on feebly when the screwdriver is in contact with the unit chassis. Do not search the correct phase unless the unit is unplugged. To make plugging easy, Audio Analogue marked the Primo CD power cord pin that has to be plugged into the inlet phase hole. It is then sufficient to verify which outlet hole is the phase hole and plug the power cord in inserting the phase pin into the phase hole.

Corretta fase dell’alimentazione

A causa della struttura asimmetrica degli avvolgimenti del trasformatore di alimentazione, assume particolare importanza la messa in fase del Primo CD in relazione all’alimentazione di rete. Delle due posizioni in cui la spina può essere inserita nella presa, solo una delle due garantisce le massime prestazioni sonore. La differenza tra un corretto inserimento ed un sbagliato può essere percepita in termini di pulizia generale del suono, dinamica e tridimensionalità della scena sonora. Un attento ascolto dell’apparecchio nelle due possibili configurazioni di collegamento alla rete è sufficiente per decidere quale è quella giusta. Per chi volesse una conferma strumentale, suggeriamo di utilizzare un semplice cacciavite cercafase: la posizione della spina nella presa che non determina l’accensione della spia del cacciavite quando questo tocca lo chassis dell’apparecchio, o che ne determina l’accensione più flebile, è di norma quella corretta. La prova con il cercafase deve essere effettuata con l’apparecchio scollegato dall’impianto.

Per semplificare la procedura di collegamento, Audio Analogue ha contrassegnato la spina del cavo di rete del Primo CD in corrispondenza del pin che deve essere collegato alla fase della presa di rete. E’ quindi sufficiente che l’utente verifichi con il cercafase quale foro della presa di corrente porta la fase, e colleghi la spina dell’apparecchio in modo che il pin contrassegnato venga inserito in quel foro.
