Maintenance
Servicing
CAUTION: Your Reference Phono 10 contains sufficient levels of voltage
and current to be lethal. Do not tamper with a component or part inside the
unit. Refer any needed service to your authorized Audio Research dealer or
other qualified technician.
The vacuum tubes inside your Reference Phono 10 are quality tubes and
with normal use should offer approximately 2,000 hours of use for the 6550
and 4,000 hours for the 6H30. Replacement tubes should be of equivalent
quality and are available from Audio Research. Note that tube numbers
(V1, V2 etc.) match printed numbers next to tube sockets on circuit board.
Should service be necessary, please contact your Audio Research dealer,
or Audio Research Customer Service at 763-577-9700 or service@
audioresearch.com.
Cleaning
To maintain the new appearance of this unit, occasionally wipe the front
panel and top cover with a soft, damp (not wet) cloth to remove dust.
A mild, non-alkaline soap solution may be used to remove fingerprints or
similar smudges. Cleaners containing abrasives should not be used as they
will damage the anodized finish of the front panel. A small, soft paintbrush
is effective in removing dust from bevels, the recessed nameplate and other
features of the front panel.
