HandlingandCare:
Keep the preamp safe from hard knocks and shocks. Tubes are fragile and tend to
sufferwhenexposedtomechanicalstress!
Let the preamp cool down before you transport it. Ten 10 minutes or so will do to
sparethetubes.
Tubes take some20 seconds towarm up afteryou switchthepower on.Make a habit

Avoid storing the preamp in damp or dusty rooms to spare jacks, switches and
potentiometers.Ifyou don't usethepreampallthetime,I recommend thatyoudrape

panel labels. Keep liquids well away from the preamp, particularly the interior of the
housing.
Make sureair can circulate at the two sidesand rear panel of thepreamp to allow for
adequatecooling,whichincreasescomponentlife.
High ambienttemperatures placean additional strain on diversecomponents; soif at
all possible, avoid operating the preamp at temperatures far higher than 30°C for
longer periods. Running the preamp at mains voltages exceeding the nominal mains

Replace tubes with selected tubes that satisfy ENGL selection criteria to forestall
microphonic properties,undesirable noise and loss of Gain. Tube replacement is a job
