FUSE
Never use larger than a 1.5 amp fast-blo fuse. A fuse can blow for the following reasons:
1. The preamp was switched on sooner than 45 seconds after it was switched off.
2. The 5AR4 rectifier tube at the left rear of the preamp is bad.
TUBES
The tubes and their placement within the preamp were chosen for their specific performance
characteristics. We can only guarantee the performance of this unit when used with the curve-
traced and matched tubes supplied by Quicksilver.
The tubes should last several years or many thousands of hours. Replacement tubes may be
purchased directly from Quicksilver or your dealer.
Due to the unit’s high current, Class A design and slow warm-up features we highly recommend
that the unit NOT be left on when not in use.
