8. To avoid damage to the amplifier and electric
shock hazard you must use only valves marked
KT150/120, 6SL7 (6188, 6N9), 6SN7 (CV181, 6N8) 0D3
(VR150, WY4). Use only valves which you know to be
new or good condition and test the amplifier thoroughly
before resuming normal use.
9. Replacing the small valves:
6SL7 and 6SN7. Neither of these requires any set up
procedure. Care should be taken when removing and
inserting not to break the locating spigot and keyway.
(Accidental swapping of these two valves will not cause
damage). SG Treasure, Full Music (TJ), Tung Sol are
recommended.
Icon Audio are happy to test your valves, check and bias
your amplifier free of charge.
Bias Meter reading power
When the yellow bias meter switch is in the OFF position
it indicates the instantaneous audio power of the
amplifier. You may be surprised that it hardly moves
most of the time. As full power is approximately 110
watts you can see therefore an indication of:
10= 1.0w
20= 4.4w
30= 10w
40= 17w
50= 27w
60= 40w
70= 54w
80= 70w
90= 90w
100=110w
This is assuming a 4 or 8 ohms load

We expect our amplifiers to give a service life of
approximately 20 years, with regular maintenance. During
this time we will make every effort to supply spare parts
and repair them at an economical cost.
Supply of some parts may subject to availability from third
party suppliers which Icon Audio is not responsible for. This
does not cover unique parts including remote control
systems, meters and cosmetic parts.
