OPERATION
Your amplifier comes with a rear mounted power switch and two front
mounted standby switches. The standby switches turn on the high volt-
age to the tubes when the main power switch is on. If the standby
switches are turned off, the main power switch will only power the tube
heaters. The typical way to use this setup is to turn on the main power
switch first, wait about 30 seconds or so and then turn on the standby
switches.
MAINENANCE
Your amplifier was overbuilt and designed to offer trouble free service for
your lifetime. That is why it comes with a lifetime warranty. There is no
maintenance other than occasional tube replacement. The amp is self bi-
asing so it will never need adjusted as the tubes wear, or as you roll
tubes.
There is a 5 amp fuse located inside the IEC connector on the back where
your removable power cord plugs in. The well hidden fuse holder also
contains a spare fuse.
There are no user serviceable parts inside this amp. If your amplifier
should need serviced please return it to DECWARE. If you are in a non-
USA country and have any problems with the amp and do not wish to
ship it back for service we can work by phone with an experienced tube
repair shop in your area to get the problem resolved.
You can read details about this amplifier on our web site including sche-
matics, designers notes, features, etc.
Remember, with any tube product, it is WISE to have a complete set of spare tubes
on hand. Anytime there is a problem with tube gear it is 9 out of 10 times a tube. If
you have spare tubes you can easily trouble shoot it yourself. While not common,
tubes can go bad for no reason, or get noisy—especially N.O.S. tubes. Be careful
when spending tons of money on N.O.S. tubes that originally only cost a few dollars
when they were new.
