Dear customer!
With Einstein's "The Light in the Dark" stereo amplifier, you have acquired that rarest of Hifi components –
one that conforms to the most stringent standards of electrical design and mechanical integrity. To get the
most from it, please take a few leisurely moments and peruse the following instructions.
"The Light in the Dark" is a component that deliberately eschews frilly features to focus instead on the core
essentials:
Realistic reproduction with the utmost fidelity
Rock-solid reliability for years of worry-free service
Intuitive user interface everyone in your household can use
Extended market value to protect your investment
Einstein's "The Light in the Dark" does not sound beautiful, soft or
energetic. Our goal is to design components that integrate into
existing systems with the absolute minimum of signal degradation
or "artistic license". A stereo amplifier's job is simple (though by no
means easy): increase signal amplitude; pass this amplified signal
to the loudspeaker; take control of the transducers. Even the
"world's best" loudspeaker cannot correct for losses or errors
incurred by the amplifier. Quite the contrary. A superior loudspeaker
will ruthlessly reveal any shortcomings in the amplifier driving it.
Hence your decision to incorporate Einstein's "The Light in the
Dark" into your system was a truly informed one. Congratulations.
We extend our regards from Bochum and wish you much musical
satisfaction from your new Einstein "The Light in the Dark".

Summary of Contents for Einstein The Light in the Dark

  • Page 1 To get the most from it, please take a few leisurely moments and peruse the following instructions. “The Light in the Dark“ is a component that deliberately eschews frilly features to focus instead on the core essentials: •...
  • Page 2: Design Overview

    The OTLs paved the way for the unique and proprietary realization of the stereo amplifier’s circuit architecture. To not bore you with tech talk, let’s put it this way: “The Light in the Dark“ is the “The Final Cut“, albeit with transistors rather than valves in the output stage.
  • Page 3: Ac Mains Connection

    • Insure adequate ventilation and a solid hard foundation. Do not place “The Light in the Dark“ atop other components nor place other components atop the Einstein amplifier. Due to the enormous capacities of our overbuilt transformers, record players and phono stages should not be placed in close proximity to avoid picking up hum.
  • Page 4 Simply use the single-ended connections as outputs. If “The Light in the Dark“ connects to your preamp via RCAs (either regular or inverted), cap the two unused single-ended inputs with the provided shorting plugs.
  • Page 5 11. Valves • “The Light in the Dark“ uses E88CC tubes with a life expectancy of about 3000 hours. To assure optimum performance, only use tubes your Einstein dealer supplies. We take pains to properly inspect and test all Einstein tubes for years of trouble-free and uncompromised performance.
  • Page 6 15. Warranty • Einstein’s “The Light in the Dark“ carries a 3-year parts & labor non- transferable warranty (6 months for tubes) if the following conditions are met: We have received your warranty registration card within 14 days of purchase (validated by stamp or signature of an authorized dealer) as accompanied by a copy of your sales receipt;...
  • Page 7 To obtain the full 3-year warranty (6 months on tubes), we must receive your warranty card and a copy of your sales receipt within 14 days of purchase. Should you purchase your Einstein stereo amplifier from an unauthorized dealer, the warranty period is limited to 6 months.
