Loudspeaker cables and
inter-connects
The loudspeaker cables and inter-connects have a significant influence on the
reproduction quality of the entire system, and their importance should not be
under-estimated. For this reason we strongly recommend the use of high-
quality cables and connectors.
Our range of accessories includes a series of top-quality cables and
connectors whose characteristics are accurately matched to our loudspeakers
and electronic units, and work superbly with them. For difficult and cramped
arrangements you may also find our non-standard cables useful; the

range includes special lengths and special connectors (e. g. right-angled
versions) with which virtually any problematic location or connection can be
solved.
Mains cables and mains
filters
The mains power supply carries the operating energy to your sound system,
but at the same time it also bears interference from remotely located
equipment, radio transmissions and computer systems.
To prevent electro-magnetic interference reaching your equipment we
recommend that you use the special items included in our range of
accessories: the
'POWER FOUR' mains cable with its effective shielding, the
'POWER LINE' ready-made mains leads with ferrite filters, and the 'POWER
BAR' filtered mains distribution panel. In many cases the use of these
accessories provides a further improvement in the reproduction quality of our
equipment.
If you have queries concerning cables and wiring please ask your local 
dealer in the first instance, as he will be able to offer competent,
comprehensive and impartial advice. We will also be glad to send you a copy of
our complete information pack on this subject.
Mechanical de-coupling
The surface and sub-surface on which your high-quality sound system units are
set up have a significant effect on the potential sound quality, and their
importance should not be under-estimated. The base surface should be as
heavy, stable, hard and level as possible.
The turntable is fitted with the newly developed

vibration-absorbing case
feet. These feet offer very effective internal damping characteristics and provide a
high level of de-coupling from the base surface. They prevent external sound and
mechanical vibration reaching the pick-up system, where microphony effects can
have an adverse influence on sound quality.
To ensure that the vibration absorbers are able to work properly it is important
that the turntable should be set up without any contact between the case and
the walls or any other surface.
Care of the unit: Disconnect the mains plug from the wall socket before cleaning the turntable.
To clean the machine simply wipe the surfaces with a soft, damp cloth or
sponge. Do not rub the surfaces with a dry cloth.
Please just use clean water
to moisten the cloth, or water with a small addition of a mild cleaning
agent such as a neutral cleaner, soft soap or similar.
Never use any
organic solvent which might contain materials such as paint thinners,
alcohol or lighter fuel.
Before using the unit again be sure to check that there are no short-circuits at
the connections, and that all connectors are correctly fitted and firmly inserted.
