Your PPA20 is designed to amplify very small signals, which can
make it sensitive to interference from other nearby equipment. 

You may need to move your PPA20, your turntable or the
interfering equipment to remove the problem.

If the 

mute

light on the front panel of your PPA20 stays on, it may

be an indication of such strong interference that the PPA20 is
protecting itself and any amplifier/loudspeakers connected to it.
This could be caused by a fault in the tonearm or turntable or in
the interconnecting cables.

TAG McLaren Audio equipment is designed to give optimum
performance for many years.

Just like a high-quality car, the performance of your PPA20 will
improve during the first few hours of operation. The electronic
components will then have reached and settled down to near-
perfect specification.

Every time you switch on your PPA20, the performance will improve
until the components reach their optimum operating temperature.
