Useful information about valves

Valves are electronic components which offer superb

sound qualities, but they do require a certain level of care

due to their construction. This is primarily a factor of the

delicate mechanical nature of the components. Valves

are fitted with a heating filament which has a finite useful

life, similar to the filament in an incandescent light bulb.

In the D10 a micro-processor controls the heating of the

valves and ensures that this process is as gentle as

possible, and that they are always protected from over-

loading. The operating voltages supplied to the valves

are electronically stabilised, so that fluctuations in the

mains supply voltage have no adverse effect on the

valves.

The unit’s specially developed shock-absorbing feet

damp out mechanical shock and vibration.

All these design features make the D10 extremely

reliable, and are your guarantee that the unit will give

long, problem-free service.

However, although the machine incorporates sophisti-

cated protective systems, you as user can also play a

part in obtaining the best possible sound and life

expectancy from your valves.

Please note the following points in this respect:

• Avoid switching the unit on and off frequently!

• Avoid subjecting the unit to severe mechanical shocks!

• Allow the machine to cool down for at least one hour

before transporting it or moving to another location.

• Do not remove the protective grilles over the valves,

and never touch the valves with your bare hands!
