MEISHU PHONO SILVER SIGNATURE Congratulations on your purchase of the Audio Note (UK) Meishu Phono Silver Signature Integrated Amplifier.

The Meishu Phono Silver Signature also contains an extra phonostage board, located to the left of the main circuit board) The amplifier is shipped without the 3 large valves installed. It is necessary to install the valves first.
