6 - SOUND QUALITY OPTIMIZATION 

 
 
 

- Warm-up sonic effect. 

 
If the amplifier has been left unpowered for a few days, the optimum sound quality is 
only reached after few minutes. The critical circuits have to warm up to 55 
degrees Celsius (+131 degrees Fahrenheit) before achieving their optimal 
performances. 
 
 

 

- Speaker polarity. 

 

Even if you have carefully selected the proper line phase (see in next paragraph), 
there is a possibility to again increase the sonic quality of your speakers by reverting 
the polarity of the speaker cable amp termination. But since the line phase and the  
 
 
 
speaker polarity interfere to each other, you have to experiment carefully all the 
combinations before picking the right one. 
 
 
 
 

 

- AC line phase inversion. 

 

The sonic quality of your SRI2 can be greatly improved if the main AC line is 
connected with the proper polarity.  
Try to invert the plug of your amplifier, using a special adapter. 
We recommend that you proceed carefully to try this. You must do it in combination 
with the speaker polarity to be sure of the result.
