COOLING
Convection cooling - Cool air is drawn from under the chassis by the heat from the tubes acting as an air
pump, and exhausting the warm air out the chassis through the side vents. Do not place the amplifier on
a carpet or in a closed cabinet. You must allow the feet to do their job by keeping the bottom raised, al-
lowing unimpeded airflow.
NEW AMPLIFIER SMELL
We burn-in these amplifier in for 72 hours using a 1 KHZ sine wave driving 4 ohm loads. But, like a
brand new car, this amplifier possesses a "new amplifier smell". When powered up for the first time, the
fresh paint and recent skin oils on the tubes will create a new hot amp smell. It will dissipate with use,
usually requiring about six weeks of normal operation
