10 User's Manual Observe the following precautions when choosing a location for your Classic vacuum tube preamplifier: • The Classic is an all-vacuum tube design. It may be operated at any angle, and has modest ventilation requirements. Do not cover the side ventilation slots. • It ’ s location relative to other stereo components is not [...]

11 User's Manual The optional phono stage contains two independent stereo phono preamplifier inputs which are optimized for specific uses. The type of phono cartridge you are using in the turntable will determine which phono input to use. Only a moving coil cartridge should be connected to the moving coil input, or it may become overloaded and[...]

12 User's Manual efforts on the part of the transformer designer are required, and the resulting cost will almost always be many hundreds of dollars. Less expensive transformers will be quiet, but will usually exhibit ringing, phase shift, and some low frequency distortion. The problems with most active step-up devices are simply reversed. Mod[...]

13 User's Manual Phono Connections System Configurations The following pages show some typical connections that you might make in your installa- tion. They show how the inputs and outputs of the Classic preamplifier are connected to various audio components. If your turntable is equipped with a Moving Magnet cartridge, connect its audio output[...]

14 User's Manual CD player Connections The audio output from your CD player can be connected to the preamplifier ’ s CD inputs. If your CD player has variable outputs, this will allow you to adjust the CD player ’ s output volume to match the volume of other components in your system, such as the tape deck or turntable. When you switch fro[...]

15 User's Manual T ape Deck Connections The output from your Tape deck connects to the preamplifier ’ s TAPE inputs. These inputs are only selected by using the preamplifier ’ s Tape Monitor switch. The inputs of your Tape deck connect to the preamplifier ’ s TAPE outputs. These outputs are unaffected by the setting of the volume control[...]

16 User's Manual Amplifier Connections: unbalanced RCA If your amplifier has RCA inputs, you can connect them to the preamplifier ’ s Main 1 or Main 2 outputs. It does not matter which pair you use, because they are identical. Main 2 is provided if you want to run a second amplifier, perhaps to play speakers in another room, or to drive an a[...]

17 User's Manual Amplifier Connections: balanced XLR If your amplifier has XLR inputs, it can be connected to the balanced audio outputs as shown. The balanced connections are preferred, as they provide superior noise cancellation and are less susceptible to interference than unbalanced lines. System Configurations Amplifier[...]
