Additional Information
Break-In
Your TAGA Harmony amplifier sounds great immediately after it is taken out of the
carton but as all hybrid amplifiers, this amplifier requires a “break-in” period to reach its
full sonic capabilities.
During the “break-in” period it is recommended to operate the amplifier at moderate
volume levels.
The first level of the “break-in” is reached after approximately 10 hours of play.
The optimal level of the “break-in” is reached after approximately 40 to 60 hours of play.
It is recommended to avoid one-time short periods of operation unless the amplifier
reaches the first “break-in” level. When the amplifier is turned on, it should operate for
around 4-6 hours.
Turn off procedure
Make sure to turn off the amplifier first when powering down your system.
Follow this procedure each time you turn your amplifier OFF / ON. This precaution will
minimize the stress (high voltages) on internal components.
Vacuum tubes - noise floor and interferences
It is a normal phenomenon for an amplifier equipped with vacuum tubes to produce
significant amount of noise (called noise floor or self-noise) which can be audible in
speakers and headphones (in one or both channels).
Devices equipped with vacuum tubes are more prone to various types of interferences
generated by nearby electronic equipment – try to eliminate such a problem by moving
this product away from the source of interference or trying to power it from a different
power line than other equipment (e.g. from a power outlet in another room).
Bluetooth
®
Connection
Note!
The above listed functionality may vary on different
Bluetooth
®
audio sources
(smartphones, computers or other compatible devices).
For some audio source devices it may take a shorter or longer period of time to
reconnect to the amplifier or it may even require to repeat the pairing procedure each
time the
Bluetooth
®
connection is lost.
Note!
If your
Bluetooth
®
audio source is not able to find the “HTA-600B”
Bluetooth
®
device or connect to it then switch off the amplifier, wait at least 60 seconds and after
the amplifier is switched on repeat the pairing procedure.
If the amplifier was turned off even for a short period of time, you
should wait at least 2 minutes before turning it back on.
Do not turn it ON then OFF and then ON again in quick succession.
Vacuum Tube Replacement
The lifetime of vacuum tubes may vary and depends on their operation time and
ambient temperature, playback volume levels and the number of on and off cycles.
Replacement vacuum tubes are not supplied with this product.
