We advise that you keep the boxes and other packing
materials that your H-3000
V
came in. It will be useful if
you sell your H-3000
V
or in the unlikely event you need
to ship it or the power supply for service.
SAFETY!!
BEFORE!!! connecting the power supply unit to
the wall outlet, remove the power supply
cover and insert the 5AR4 in the socket.
BEFORE!!! connecting the H-3000V to the wall
outlet, please open the chimneys and remove
the shipping O rings from the tubes; they are
installed only to protect the tubes during
shipping. The tube chimneys should contain
nothing except the tubes.
Disconnect the power cord by pulling the plug,
not the cable.
Do not attempt any repairs. Do not remove the
units’ chassis covers without specific
authorization from Hammertone Audio.
Keep the power cords away from heat sources
Keep the units away from liquids – do not allow
any liquid to enter the interior of the units.
When the units are moved from a cold to a warm
environment, allow sufficient time for any
condensation to evaporate in both units before
plugging the power supply unit into an AC
connection.
Do not attempt any repairs.
Do not remove the units’ chassis covers without
specific authorization from Hammertone Audio.
See the notes on “Location, Location, Location”.
CLEANING
A. Chassis
Use only a soft, lint-free cloth dampened slightly with
water only (NO cleaning fluids!) to clean the faceplate and
chassis of the H-3000
V
and its power supply.
B.
Connectors
You may use any good quality contact cleaner
recommended for such applications to clean the contacts
from time to time, as you deem appropriate.
INITIAL SET-UP
A.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Like all audio products using tubes, the Allnic Audio H-3000
V
and
its power supply need to be placed on a solid stand in a location
that provides good air circulation around both the phono stage
and the power supply.
DO NOT cover the top of the H-3000
V
phono stage
or the ventilation slots in the top of the power
supply chassis.
DO NOT drop the units! For those who may want to
place the H-3000
V
or its power supply on some kind of
after-market isolation feet or similar devices, dropping
one side of either of the H-3000
V
units, or the whole of
either unit, is not a good thing to do.
DO NOT place the units near a strong light or heat.
DO NOT place anything heavy on the units.
DO NOT allow rubber or vinyl materials to rest on either
units’ chassis for long periods of time. This could
discolour the metal.
DO place the units on a shelf or stand that is stable and
not subject to vibration or sudden shock.
DO consider using a high quality power cord and inter-
connects, for both inputs and outputs. The H-3000
V
is a
highly sensitive piece of electronic designed for
neutrality and will output what you put into it.
DO try to place the H-3000
V
and its power supply
away from major sources of RFI and EMI; though
well shielded, the H-3000
V
units will function best
away from large power transformers and other
sources of such interference.
B.
POWER CONNECTIONS
The H-3000
V
power supply uses a standard three prong
male IEC connection for AC input. You need to use a power
cord with a female three prong IEC connector at one end.
The H-3000
V
power supply connects to the phono stage
itself using the supplied umbilical cable. Connect the units
to each other using the umbilical cable with the
appropriate screw-on connections to the receptacle
labeled “DC Source Input” on the rear of the phono stage
and the connection terminal labeled “DC Source Output”
on the left side of the rear of the power supply (Please
refer to Figures 1 and 2).
