“Purity of Sound” is an important reason why our prod- ucts are sought after retain their value over time. The performance of your DR-100 will continue to improve during the first 480 hours of listening. This is the result of a “break-in” period re- quired for the numerous high quality electronic parts and ageing of the tube used throughout this integrated amplifier.

NOW YOU ARE READY TO START! 4.0 Installation & Placement The DR-100 as is the case with any tube equipped device is more sensitive than most other types of audio components to EMI (electro-magnetic inter- ference) from power supplies and motors including vibration. Consequent- ly, it should be placed at a minimum distance of 18 inches from power sup- plies, turntables, tape decks, AC line filters, etc..
AC wall outlet you use has a functioning ground. Then, it is preferable that you plug your DR-100 into a surge suppressor power bar used as well for your other audio components, then best is to connect this directly into a dedi- cated AC outlet.
With all connections made and secured, and with all cables tucked away, you are now steps away from enjoying the sound quality of the DR-100. Also it is a good idea to remove the tube cage and ensure that the tubes are seated well before connecting to AC power, just in case they became loose in shipping.
