Congratulations on your purchase of a valve amplifier from Time Machine Sounds (TMS).
This amplifier is hand-crafted with great care and patience from high quality components. It 
was developed over a period of several years and embodies knowledge gained from a 
century of experience with valves in audio electronics. Classic valve and modern solid-state 
technologies have been combined, to optimise performance in critical areas such as noise 
reduction, distortion minimisation and power handling. 

Your TMS amplifier should give you many hours of musical listening pleasure with proper 
treatment and care, before it may need new valves or servicing. 

Please read these Operating Instructions carefully for your safety and enjoyment. 

In case service, under warranty or otherwise, is required, please take a moment to write 
down your model and serial number, located on the back panel of your equipment, and 
attach a copy of your receipt to this manual.
