Ensure that the Amplifier is placed in a stable location that is able to accept its weight, each
unit weighs 10 kilograms.
Isolated shelves and/or isolating feet under the unit helps prevent micro-vibrations (generated
in the room while playing music) from disturbing the internal vacuum tube structure, and
digital electronics, implementing the use of these will further enhance sound quality.
Dedicated racks are available for housing your tube equipment, contact your dealer or
Tube Technology for further information.
Do not locate the Amplifier close to radiators or any other heat source, this could increase
the operating temperature.
Do not locate the Amplifier too close to a turntable, as the cartridge could pick up hum from
the power transformer.
"Burning-In" is our generic term given to the basic 'running-in' of the Amplifier. You may
notice a slight 'electronic-smell' from your Amplifier during the first few days of operation.
This smell is usually caused by the heating of various surfaces on brand new electronic
components which takes some time to evaporate. This is quite normal and there is no need
for concern as your Amplifier has been extensively soak tested before leaving the factory.
This burning-in time continues with your use of the amplifier.
This process simply allows for new components like tubes, capacitors and resistors to settle
and 'sweeten' enhancing the Amplifiers sonic performance. An estimated 80 hours of
operation allows your Fusion this running-in period.
