TURNTABLES
For best results a turntable should be placed on a small, light, rigid shelf
POWER SUPPLIES
Take care not to position too close to signal leads, turntables or pre-amplifier.
AMPLIFIERS
Pre and power amplifiers may create hum if positioned too close together.
Experiment by moving components when the system is on but not playing music (although it is best to
turn the volume down whilst actually moving the components).
LOUDSPEAKERS
Loudspeakers should be positioned correctly. They should be mounted on rigid
stands and not subject to any rocking movement. All Linn speakers except NEXUS and HELIX are
designed to be placed close to the wall.
CLEAN CONTACTS
It is important that the electrical contacts in a hi-fi system are kept mechanically
sound and clean. Unplugging and replugging all the connectors occasionally will effectively clean
contacts.
WARNING This should be carried out after the mains supply has been switched off.
INTERCONNECT LEADS Correct cables should be used. We recommend good quality copper cable for
interconnects loads and advise 4mm
2
multicore copper cable, such as
Linn K20 for speaker leads.
Your Linn Dealer can supply hi-fi quality interconnects for linking all your hi-fi components.
FUSE PROTECTION A fuse is fitted to the power input socket on the rear of the PRETEK. Please
note that the fuse holder also contains one spare fuse.
The Linn PRETEK preamplifier is designed for a long life and any servicing should be carried out by an
authorised dealer.
Dust or finger marks can be removed by using a soft damp cloth. Avoid the use of domestic cleaning
products.
