Maintenance

Servicing

CAUTION: Your Reference 10 contains sufficient levels of voltage and
current to be lethal. Do not tamper with a component or part inside the
unit. Refer any needed service to your authorized Audio Research dealer
or other qualified technician.
The vacuum tubes inside your Reference 10 are quality tubes and with
normal use should not need to be changed for approximately 4,000 hours
of use. Replacement tubes should be of equivalent quality and are available
from Audio Research. Note that tube numbers (V1, V2 etc.) match printed
numbers next to tube sockets on circuit board.
Should service be necessary, please contact your Audio Research dealer,
or Audio Research Customer Service at 763-577-9700.

Cleaning

To maintain the new appearance of this unit, occasionally wipe the front
panel and top cover with a soft, damp (not wet) cloth to remove dust.
A mild, non-alkaline soap solution may be used to remove fingerprints or
similar smudges. Cleaners containing abrasives should not be used as they
will damage the anodized finish of the front panel. A small, soft paintbrush
is effective in removing dust from bevels, the recessed nameplate and other
features of the front panel.
