5. Connecting the Cables

5.1. Power cables

AC power input is via a standard IEC inlet socket. Operating voltage must only be
changed by an authorized service agent.
There are four DC power cables connecting the Power Supply and the Signal Stage.
Each DC connection has a different number of pins. The 2-pin cable connects to the
2-pin sockets, the 3-pin cable connects to the 3-pin socket etc. The DC connectors
lock into the corresponding socket with a twisting ring. Connect and lock all four DC
power cables before powering-up the system. Never connect or disconnect any
power cable while the unit is operating. Some of the pins carry high voltages, so it is
important to never touch any Power Supply DC Output sockets while the unit is
operating. Also wait at least 30 seconds before disconnecting any cables after
powering down the unit.

5.2. Signal Cables

You can connect two separate arms/cartridges to the Signal Stage at the same time.
The selector switch between the inputs selects the active input channel. Ground
point is common for both input channels.

6. Operating the Unit

6.1. General Operation

Absolare Phono Stage will be ready to operate 40 seconds after turning on the
power but attain full performance after 15 to 30 minutes.
Signal ground and chassis/power ground is separate inside the Signal Stage and
they are connected by a high pass filter to reduce hum and noise. The ground point
near the inputs is connected to the chassis ground. The outside parts of the RCA
output connectors are connected to signal ground.
There are no adjustments required other than cartridge loading. As you can connect
two separate arms/cartridges to the Signal Stage at the same time, there are
separate loading options for each input. To provide more levels in total and a better
match for each cartridge, load values are not the same between channels. If the
preset levels do not match the desired value exactly, you can install your own load
resistors for each input channel (see section 6.2. for installing custom resistors).
There are five factory-fixed plus one custom load level for each input.
Custom resistors can be accessed via the input tube cover on the back of the unit.
