Creek Audio Destiny Operating Instructions

Destiny Integrated Amplifier
Thank you for purchasing the Destiny Integrated Amplifier. You are now in possession of a State of the Art integrated
amplifier. The functions and operation of the Destiny are very simple. However, the following notes are provided to explain all
aspects of its design and use. Your Destiny amplifier is designed to give you years of reliable use. If you need more
assistance, it is always advisable to go back to the supplying dealer for his expert help.
need service work to be carried out, the amp should be returned to your dealer in the original packing material if possible.
The Destiny amplifier is designed to work properly in normal domestic operating conditions. However, the amplifier's
performance may be affected if sited near to a radio transmitter such as a mobile phone etc. Re-siting the Destiny amplifier
or the radio transmitter will normalise the situation.

Mains Connection

After unpacking the Destiny amplifier please keep the packing material in a safe place for possible future use. In the pack
there is a separate mains cable suitable for connecting to the mains supply in the country of use, stored in the cardboard inset
section. The IEC socket end of the cable should be firmly inserted into the connector on the rear panel marked "Mains Input".
Remember - do not overload the mains wall socket with too many plugs or adaptors. The high quality performance of the
amplifier will be impaired if the electrical supply to it is in poor condition. The "Mains Input" connection is also fitted with a
fuse, specifically suited to the supply voltage of the country of use. The correct value is clearly marked on the rear panel next
to the Mains Input. Should it be necessary to replace the mains fuse, ensure that you use the same type as specified on the
rear panel, i.e. 5 x 20mm size, cartridge type:
T 3.15 A surge resisting for 220-240V 50Hz AC,
T 6.3 A surge resisting for 110-120V 60Hz AC
T 8A surge resisting for 100V (Japan)

Power Consumption

It is appreciated by Hi-Fi enthusiasts that leaving equipment powered-up continuously can improve the performance.
However, this small improvement in sound quality comes at the expense of higher power consumption from the mains which
will not only cost more but will also reduce the working life of the Destiny. We recommend that if the equipment is not being
used, for an extended period of time, switch it off from the mains switch on the rear panel. Normal performance can be
achieved in a short period of time.
Set-u u p
To obtain the best results, make sure that the Destiny amplifier is placed on a stable shelf or Hi-Fi equipment rack. It is
important to allow adequate ventilation to the heatsink in the centre of the amplifier, so avoid obstructing the ventilation slots
on the top and bottom of the case. It will be necessary to place the amplifier on its own shelf or the top of other equipment
to allow for this. Always have the volume control set at minimum (counter-clockwise) when switching on and off, to avoid any
sudden loud noises.
