Page 3: Operation
AC power is applied to the unit by pressing on the left side of the power switch, when viewed from the front of the unit. When Rhea has power applied for the first time, it will first display the installed software version on the LED display for two seconds, then automatically enter the standby mode. -
Page 4: Gain Adjustment
A unit with aged tubes, or non-factory tubes (shame on you!), may not achieve these gain values. Some linestages and preamplifiers cannot accept the high output signal that the Rhea can produce. Distortion on peaks is the most obvious indication, but sometimes it can be a less obvious compression of dynamics and an upper midrange hardness. - Page 5 The correct loading will be achieved when music has the right balance of dynamics, high frequency extension and lack of glare or brightness. Generally speaking, less loading (higher ohms) results in more high frequencies and more dynamics but can be too bright for some cartridges.
- Page 6 the unit will enter the standby mode. The standby light is always illuminated, regardless of whether the display was on or off. Pressing the display button while the display is off, or during the 5 second timeout period, will turn on the display and normal operation will return. Advanced display functionality This unit contains the ability to sense the ambient light level in the room and adjust the display and LEDs accordingly.
