Introduction
Thank you for choosing the UP1 to be a part of your high performance music listening
system. Each UP1 is handcrafted, using the very latest, no compromise, cutting edge
technology and componentry. This ensures the best possible sound reproduction currently
available and guarantees many years of listening enjoyment.
We understand that you are eager to begin listening; however, please take a few minutes
to read through this guide for useful information concerning the operation of your new
phono amplifier. OAD Ultrafidelity equipment takes a considerable time to run in before
it performs at its best. The duration varies, but under some conditions the sound may
continue to improve for over a month. Better and more consistent performance will be
achieved if the system is left switched on for long periods. It is worth remembering however
that equipment left connected to the mains can be damaged by lightning.
After reading this manual, if you have any further questions regarding your preamplifier,
contact your dealer or OAD Ultrafidelity customer service – they will be happy to help you
to make the most of your new component.
Happy Listening!
Warnings
• To prevent fire, or shock hazard, do not expose your UP1 to rain or moisture.
• Do not place objects containing water on top of this unit.
• This unit contains voltages which can cause serious injury or death.
• Do not operate with covers removed. Refer servicing to your authorized OAD Ultrafidelity
dealer or service personnel.
• A power cord is shipped with your UP1 that meets the required safety standards. It
is important for both safety and performance that the standard cable supplied is not
modified.
• Your hi-fi system, including the UP1, can be damaged by lightning and should be turned
off and disconnected from the mains when there is risk of lightning strike.
• We recommend that all connections to the UP1 are made with the mains power cord
disconnected.
Packaging
Save all packaging in a dry place away from fire hazard. Your UP1 is a precision electronic
instrument and should be properly boxed any time shipment is made. It is very unlikely
that you will have to return your unit to the factory for service, but if that should prove
necessary, the original packaging will protect your UP1 from unnecessary damage or delay.
Interconnect Cables
RCA/Phono Interconnect plugs and sockets should be kept clean and free from corrosion.
