1.5.2 Organization of this Manual
This manual is intended for the new, upgraded version (V2) of the L1 EL84 Integrated Amplifier
and for both the EI-Core and C-Core variants. The upgrades include 4 line inputs, a new chassis
with changes to the IO configuration on the back channel to keep the inputs away from the
Power Supply, the addition of an IEC printed circuit board (PCB), and a Dyna-Choke.
For the moment, until we have pictures of a build using the new chassis, you will notice some
minor discrepancies between the text (which is right up-to-date and addresses building the kit
with upgrades and the revised chassis) and some of the pictures which have some view of the
earlier version of the amplifier. The minor discrepancies are insignificant and do not change
the build, but we have noted them where they exist. We expect to issue a revision of the manual
soon, with new pictures: perhaps they'll be from your build! Thanks for your understanding.
The manual tracks the building of both the EI-Core and C-Core versions interchangeably, since
the builds are identical except for some minor differences related to the output transformer
wiring, differences which are documented in that section of the manual.
We have divided the build up into the following sections:
1.
