Maintenance:

Leave it on or turn it off: 

The product is designed to be left on all the time. The 

exception to this might be a case where the preamp will not be used for an extended 
time - in that case it can be turn off.

Cleaning: 

The fi nish can be damaged by harsh cleaners and abrasive cloths. We 

fi nd a damp soft cloth works best. You can also use a mild solution of windex or white 
vinegar but be careful to avoid the acrylic window. The acrylic window should only 
be cleaned using “plastic cleaner & polish”.

Remote batteries:

 The two AAA batteries should be replaced every six months at 

least. The batteries are located under the remote back. This is held in place with four 
4-40 phillips fl at head screws. Please note the polarity of the batteries, putting them in 
wrong could cause damage.

Replacing the fuse:

 The fuse should only be replace with the same type and size as 

indicated on the rear. Audio Specialty FUSE: NOTE: The “Overload” and “Time Delay 
characteristics” will differ slightly (due to the different metallurgy of the fuse elements) 
between commercial grade and audio grade fuses. We can’t guarantee that 
your audiophile grade fuse, won’t blow at a different in-rush current threshold, than 
your stock commercial fuse. Use of other than approved fuses, may invalidate your 
product warranty and result in product damage.
