  • Page 4: General Description

    1. General Description The Absolare Preamplifier is a single chassis line stage preamplifier with an all tube signal path and point-to-point construction. Inside the chassis, mains transformers and DC regulators are physically isolated from the signal section by an internal partition, to further reduce noise and hum.

    You can use either three or four feet. After the Preamplifier has been placed in its final position, it can be lifted in turn to locate the support feet – firstly lifting the back (for 2 feet) and then the front (for 1 or 2 feet) to be placed underneath the chassis.

    4. Installing the Tubes There are two 12AU7/ECC82 twin triode tubes in the Preamplifier. 12AU7 / ECC82 tubes have one missing pin acting as a correct positioning key. Align the missing pin with the missing hole in the tube socket while inserting.
