Additional Information
Break-In
Your TAGA Harmony amplifier sounds great immediately after it is taken out of the
carton but as in all amplifiers, the internal components of this amplifier require
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.
Turn off procedure
Make sure to turn off the amplifier first when powering down your system.
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.
Follow this procedure each time you turn your amplifier OFF / ON.
This precaution will minimize the stress (high voltages) on internal components.
Noise floor
It is a normal phenomenon that an amplifier may produce some amount of noise
(called noise floor or self-noise) which can be audible in speakers and headphones (in
one or both channels).
Power transformer – Power filters and conditioners
It is a normal phenomenon that the device’s power transformer may generate a certain
amount of audible noise.
Very loud operation of the power transformer may be caused by low quality of power
supply (voltage surges etc.).
In such a case, we suggest using a power filter or conditioner - you can also try to
power this product from a different power line than other devices (e.g. from a power
outlet in another room).
