Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the ADVANTAGE S-1

Disc-player.

Your S-1 is a state-of-the-art unit, and has been

assembled by highly skilled ADVANTAGE craftsmen

to provide you with many years of listening pleasure.

Our unit’s esteem arises from the way we handle

music-signals. ADVANTAGE develops products for

people who wish absolutely natural

and  enjoyable music  reproduction.

“BURN-IN”      

Due to the extremely short signal paths designed

and built into this piece of equipment, a significant

"burn-in" period is required before the unit will reach

its maximum sonic potential.

We recommend the unit be left on (or in standby

mode) at all times, especially during the first 5-6

weeks of operation, in order to speed the "burn-in"

process.

For best results, the S-1 should be left on or in the

standby mode at all times. The unit should not be

switched off via the master ON/OFF switch unless

the unit will not be being used for a significant

period of time (during vacations, etc.).

Design

Reduction is the principle for the shaping of all

ADVANTAGE  components.  The  unobtrusive  design

harmonizes with almost every environment and does

not compete with your personal sphere. The form

refers to the tonal ability of the product line, whose

composure and strength manifests a well-balanced

equilibrium.

Balanced signal transmission

Balanced signal transmission means that two signal

lines are used which carry the same signal with

opposite phase. On the receiving side, the signals

are mixed. Since any noise interference that has

arisen during transmission will be present in both

lines with identical phase, such noise is cancelled

out, leaving only the pure original signal. Balanced

connection therefore keeps the signal transfer free

from any kind of interference.
