Congratulations on your purchase of the Audio Note™ RIAA-ZERO PHONO stage.

The RIAA-ZERO provides outstanding performance as an additional unit for line level

playback systems, is of a compact size and represents excellent value.

Please read over this manual carefully in order to obtain the best possible performance

and longevity from the RIAA-ZERO.

UNPACKING & INSTALLATION

We recommend that you store the packaging materials in case the unit requires shipping

at a later date. Also, check that no transit damage has occurred before installing the pre

amplifier.

Next, select a suitable location for the unit, not next to any large mains unit or damp

areas.

Worthwhile improvements may be obtained by locating the pre amplifier on a support

system specifically designed to reduce and absorb any vibrations.

AFTER CARE

Cleaning: No special maintenance is required for the RIAA-ZERO. A soft cloth or

brush similar to those sold by photographic stores for lens cleaning applications is best

used for cleaning.

Use a cloth lighty dampened with a mildly warm, weak soap solution to clean off grease

or oily substances. Strong or alcohol based solvents may damage the finish of this

amplifier.

Tube replacement: The vacuum tube used in the RIAA-ZERO should provide about

two years of continuous operation. With three hours of use per day, they should

provide a 10,000 hour life span.

Audio Note has taken considerable care in selecting and matching vacuum tubes

specially for the RIAA-ZERO, and so we recommend that you contact your Audio Note

dealer, who will be able to provide the correct tube should replacement be required.
