DECWARE ZEN TORII MK III MANUAL

Make sure you pull your speakers well out into the room set up in a triangle with the
listening chair. In this arrangement you will be able to hear the music go holographic
with outrageous depth and width. Amuse yourself with how well your speakers
disappear.
Statistically most owners of Zen amps have never heard the read potential and inner
magic the amp is capable of. Because it sounds better than what they had, they stop
exploring. Room acoustics are what create the boundary between potentials with this
amplifier. Even with a 7 figure DAC as your source, you will not get to the magic place
I'm talking about in an un-treated room unless by sheer luck.
It is possible to take a spare bedroom of smallish size and create a dedicated listening
space that literally sounds like it's 8 times larger than it really is. Imagine perfectly
rendered 3D space throughout as if your walls didn't exist. If more people realized this is
possible with diffusion and absorption I think you would see a lot more treated listening
spaces and a lot less equipement swapping.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning should be done with the amplifier OFF and at room temperature. Tubes should
be removed prior to cleaning. A damp towel with alcohol is ideal for removing any
smudge marks.
Input jacks can also be cleaned with an alcohol soaked Q-Tip inserted into the jack and
rotated. If the Q-Tip comes out with dark stains on it, your jacks were dirty. Jacks can
get dirty after only a single insertion of a non-cleaned interconnect cable. Having clean
connections is important. Finger oils do not help the sound.
Products like Caig DeOxit, ProGold and other contact cleaners/enhancers can also be
used as a part of a regular maintenance program. The volume control should not need
cleaning as the chassis for this amp is sealed to keep dust and smoke out of the inside of
the amplifier.
The amp is self-biasing so there is no maintenance or adjustments to make after you
install new tubes.
