- Page 6 211 triode valves per chassis, producing a level of performance that is radically superior to the vast majority of current designs. They use a similar circuit design and topology to the legendary Audio Note (UK) GAKU-ON amplifiers. However, where the GAKU-ON power amplifiers use silver wherever possible, such as for all transformer windings, the GINREI instead use copper for the primary windings and silver for the secondary windings.
- Page 7 VALVE INSTALLATION The amplifiers are shipped without the valves installed. It is necessary to install the valves prior to operation. It is essential that the valves are installed correctly or serious damage that is not covered by the warranty will result. We recommend that your dealer perform this procedure for you if you are in any way unsure.
- Page 8 VALVE INSTALLATION continued… Inspect a 211 valve and you will notice that there is a small ‘pin’ protruding from one side of the valve base; this locating pin ensures that the valve can only be correctly inserted into the amplifier in one way. Also examine the two large apertures in the top plate of the amplifier, located...
- Page 9 VALVE INSTALLATION continued… Looking from the back of the amplifier, insert the 5R4WGB valves into the two empty sockets located on the left, situated between the black rectangular transformer covers and the loudspeaker connection binding posts. Locate the rib on the central pin of the valve and align with the valve base (it can only be inserted one way due to this locating rib) and with gentle but firm pressure insert the valve.
- Page 10 (also marked “ + “) on the speaker. Mains The GINREI use an IEC 320 mains inlet socket for each chassis. Use the supplied mains cables to connect the units to the local mains supply. The mains fuses are located in separate fuse holders located on the rear panel of each chassis.
- Page 11 Once all the connections are completed and checked, ensure that the volume control of your preamplifier / source is at the minimum setting. Turn on all components in the signal chain BEFORE the GINREI; they should always be the LAST components to be switched ON, and the FIRST to be switched OFF.
