Audio Note TT-Three, Owner'S Manual

Bedding in
The new turntable and PSU require roughly 200 hours of initial
use (called “bedding in”) before the circuitry becomes stable
and optimum performance is realized.
As the turntable “beds in” the sound will become increasingly
more smooth, detailed and open.
Once the turntable has “bedded in” a warm up time of
approximately 10 - 15 minutes is required each time the unit is
switched on before optimum sonic performance is reached.
Cleaning No special maintenance is required for the turntable. Use a
soft, clean lint free cloth to remove any surface marks from the
casework / platter. For finger marks / grease, use a soft, clean
lint free cloth, lightly moistened with a solution of warm water
and mild detergent. Do not use any alcohol or solvent based
cleaning products, as they may damage the finish.
ENSURE THAT THE TURNTABLE IS SWITCHED OFF AND
DISCONNECTED
FROM THE MAINS ELECTRICITY
SUPPLY BEFORE UNDERTAKING ANY CLEANING.
Bearing Oil A syringe of bearing oil is supplied with the TT-Three. If the
bearing requires re-oiling, place 2 – 3 drops of oil directly into
the bearing well. The bearing oil only needs to be checked and
renewed roughly every 2 years.
Belt Life The belt supplied with the TT-Three should easily provide
many years of excellent, trouble-free service. It should not
need to be changed for at least 5 years. In the event that it
requires cleaning (and this should only really be the case if
grease, oil or some similar substance comes in contact with it),
it can be cleaned with a very mild detergent and water. Make
sure it is thoroughly dry before it is re-installed on the turntable.
