Burn-in Period
With the Nagra PL-P a period of
about 250-300 hours of use will
allow all components within the
circuits to reach a level of operating
equilibrium. At the end of this
period, the mechanical and sonic
performance of the PL-P will have
had an opportunity to reach its full
performance potential. Serious
audition and permanent installation
options should only be evaluated
after a complete burn-in has
occurred.
Left Panel/Input Layout
The left panel consists of four sets
of stereo input connectors:
•
One set of input connectors
for phono connection is
configurable to accept either
moving-coil or moving-magnet
input.
• Three sets of input
connectors for line-level
connections are configurable to
accept source inputs such as
tuners, compact disk players or
video tape recorders.
In addition, a technical ground post
is provided for the connection of a
ground source to eliminate possible
ground loops, which can lead to
hum. This post can also be
connected to a tone-arm ground
wire where necessary.
To connect input sources, ensure
that the PL-P is powered off and
insert the corresponding connector
into phono or line connectors.
Configuration guidance for each
input source is covered in the
Advanced Operations portions of
this manual, under the “Input
Customization” section.
