Page 4: Installation
INSTALLATION Place the unit on a stable rigid surface with at least 1m (3ft.) of free space above it. If you are using a turntable, ensure that the tonearm/preamplifier combination is least 400 mm away from the amplifier to minimise any hum conduction and ideally on a separate shelf. If you have to use the turntable and the amplifier on the same surface, place the turntable to the right of the amplifier to maximise the distance between the tonearm and the amplifier. -

Page 9: Further Information
FURTHER INFORMATION Running In New Equipment Running in is very important. Valve components work at high voltages and temperatures and when new they should spend an extended period at those temperatures to bed in. We recommend you run the amplifier in for at least four and preferably twelve hours before you first use it. - Page 10 Valve Types ANODE A triode valve has three elements The Anode and Cathode are connected between the Power supply and Ground. When an input is applied to the Control Grid, the amplified output appears at the CONTROL GRID anode. CATHODE Triodes are linear and robust but their amplification factor is low which makes them inefficient and limits their output power.
