Vacuum Tubes

It is recommended that you replace the
vacuum tubes of your Reference 150 SE in
sets. All of the tubes in your amplifier have
been matched to have similar operating
characteristics, to provide the best sound
quality and reliability. In the event you need
to replace a single output tube, please refer
to the numbers written on the silver base
at the bottom of the vacuum tube when
ordering a new tube.

Servicing

Because of its careful design and exacting
standards of manufacture, your Reference
150 SE amplifier should normally require only
minimal service to maintain its high level of
performance.
Caution
Your Reference 150 SE amplifier contains
sufficient levels of voltage and current to
be lethal. Do not tamper with a component
or part inside the unit. Even with the power
turned off, a charge remains in the energy
storage capacitors for some time. Refer
any needed service to your authorized
Audio Research dealer or other qualified
technician. Additional questions regarding
the operation, maintenance or servicing of
your amplifier, please contact the Customer
Support Department of Audio Research
Corporation at service@audioresearch.com
or call 763-577-9700. You may also initiate
a service request by visiting the Audio
Research website (www.audioresearch.com)
and selecting 'Service Repair' at the top right
of the home page.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To maintain the new appearance of this
amplifier, occasionally wipe the front panel
and top cover with a soft, damp (not wet)
cloth to remove dust. A mild, non-alkaline
soap solution may be used to remove
fingerprints or similar smudges. Cleaners
containing abrasives should not be used
as they will damage the anodized finish of
the front panel. A small, soft paintbrush is
effective in removing dust from bevels, the
recessed nameplate and other features of
the front panel.
