Dear Music Lover , Since 1972, I have been committed to developing state of the art audio products that enhance our love of music. It is clear to me that the audio world has become oriented towards complexity and mediocrity . Even high price tags do not guarantee sonic quality or a good investment. In December of 1998, I founded Red Rose Music to f ...

The choice of an amplifier circuit type is also extremely important. In theory , a push-pull amplifi er circuit produces more power than a single-ended design and it cancels out even-order distortion, but most push-pull amplifiers never reach this theoretical ideal. Although most tube amplifiers sound better than the majority of solid state designs ...

15. Feedback Control (Left) The Feedback Control switch is a rotary switch that sets the optimal feedback level for speakers with different impedances. Use a small screwdriver or alignment tool to move the red mark next to the impedance of the speaker connected to the right channel of the ampli- fier . If you don’t know the impedance of your spea ...

27. Fuse for Output T ube V1 The 250 mA, Micro fuse protects the amplifier circuit from overcurrent conditions in the output tubes. When an output tube fuse blows, or if a fuse is not in its socket, a red LED indicator at the front of the corresponding tube socket lights. If a fuse blows, disconnect power from the amplifier , either at the IEC powe ...

34 – 37. Output T ube Sockets V1 – V4 The four EL-34/6CA7 output tubes supplied with the amplifier fit the Output T ube Sockets. The base of each tube is marked with the socket number where that tube was used when the amplifier was aligned at the factory . For best performance, each tube should be used in the corresponding socket. The front of ...

Replacing the Output T ubes There are two possible reasons for replacing the tubes in your amplifier . Either the tubes supplied with the amplifier have worn out, or you want to experiment with a different brand of tubes. The tubes supplied with your amplifier will meet or exceed our minimum performance specifica- tions, but “super premium” tub ...

Symptom: Distorted audio Make sure the Power switch in set to ON rather than STBY T ry changing to a dif ferent program source. If the distortion only exists on one source, check the component that produces that signal. If an FM signal is distorted, try listening to the same station on another radio. If the distortion exists on more than one source ...
