Vacuum Tubes

It is recommended that you replace the 

6H30 vacuum tubes of your Reference 

Phono 3 in sets. All of the tubes in your 

preamplifier have been matched to have 

similar operating characteristics, to provide 

the best sound quality and reliability. 

Servicing

Because of its careful design and exacting 

standards of manufacture, your Reference 

Phono 3 preamplifier should normally 

require only minimal maintenance to 

maintain its high level of performance.

Should you need service, please contact your 

authorized Audio Research dealer or other 

qualified technician. Additional questions 

regarding the operation, maintenance 

or servicing of your preamplifier, please 

contact the Customer Support Department 

of Audio Research Corporation at  

[email protected] or call  

763-577-9700. You may also initiate a 

service request by visiting the Audio 

Research website  

(www.audioresearch.com) and 

selecting ‘Service Repair’ at the 

top right of the home page.

Caution

Your Reference Phono 3 preamplifier contains 

sufficient levels of voltage and current to 

be lethal. Do not tamper with a component 

or part inside the unit. Even with the 

power turned off, a charge remains in the 

energy storage capacitors for some time. 

Cleaning

To maintain the new appearance of this 

preamplifier, occasionally wipe the 

front panel and top cover with a soft, 

damp (not wet) cloth to remove dust. 

A mild, non-alkaline soap solution 

may be used to remove fingerprints or 

similar smudges. Cleaners containing 

abrasives should not be used as they 

will damage the anodized finish of the 

front panel. A small, soft paintbrush is 

effective in removing dust from bevels, 

and other features of the front panel.
