Maintenance:

Leave it on or turn it off: 

The product is designed to be left on all the time. The 

exception to this might be a case where the preamp will not be used for an extended 
time - in that case it can be turn off.

Cleaning: 

The fi nish can be damaged by harsh cleaners and abrasive cloths. We fi nd 

a damp soft cloth works best. 

Replacing the fuse:

 The fuse should only be replace with the same type and size as 

indicated on the rear. Audio Specialty FUSE: NOTE: The “Overload” and “Time Delay 
characteristics” will differ slightly (due to the different metallurgy of the fuse elements) 
between commercial grade and audio grade fuses. We can’t guarantee that 
your audiophile grade fuse, won’t blow at a different in-rush current threshold, than 
your stock commercial fuse. Use of other than approved fuses, may invalidate your 
product warranty and result in product damage.
