Installation instructions 

Read this carefully. 

 

 

 

Optimum listening quality is obtained when the following 

 

recommendations have been observed step by step. 

 
 

 

1 - Each DA88 integrated amplifier unit is packed with its own tested 

 

tubes. Place the tubes: be careful do not mix up the tubes and place them 

 

immediately on to their corresponding place as indicated in the « Tube 

 

position » page 10.  

 
 
 

 

2 - Place your Jadis amplifier on a flat, solid surface. Avoid placing 

 

the units directly on a carpet or on inflammable material. Avoid placing 

 

objects on top of the amplifier to ensure adequate ventilation. 

 
 
 

 

3 - Because your Jadis is a tube amplifier, provide an open space to 

 

allow  a  correct  evacuation  of  heat.  

Do  not  try  to  cool your Jadis  

 

amplifier with a fan or expose it to air currents

: sudden   cooling 

can 

 

create microcracks on the tubes. Do not move your amplifier when the 

 tubes 

are 

hot. 

   

 
 

 

 

4 -  To ensure long term reliability the ON/OFF power switch must 

 

be operated with a quick firm movement. Always use the ON/OFF Switch. 

 

Never unplug the mains cord to turn off the unit. If it is necessary to change 

 

a cable or to modify a connection, make sure the amplifier  have been 

 

switched off for at least five minutes before proceeding.
