OPERATIONAL NOTES

SWITCHING ON

The power switch is located on the right hand corner of the front panel. Flip the switch up to turn on the preamplifier and down to turn off the preamplifier.

RUNNING

It is not recommended that you leave your preamplifier permanently switched on. This only wastes electricity and tube life. Your preamplifier has solid state rectification and reaches peak operating condition in approximately 30 minutes.

TUBE LIFE

As with all tubes, their quality degrades with age. This is due to cathode emission, a natural process found in all tubes. We recommend that you have your preamplifier checked every 4-5 years, depending on usage. An excessive increase in noise level can indicate the need to replace a tube.
