1. General Description

The Absolare Phono Stage is a dual chassis, direct-coupled input phono preamplifier
with an all tube signal path and point-to-point construction. The first chassis contains
the Signal Stage. The second chassis contains the separate Power Supply. Inside
the Power Supply, transformers are also physically isolated from the DC regulators
by an internal partition, to further reduce noise and hum. There are two dedicated
heater and signal power transformers and also separate DC regulators for input and
output sections of the Signal Stage. Two input channels with adjustable loading
resistance are directly coupled to the input tubes.

2. Safety Issues and Warnings

- Be sure the voltage setting of the unit matches the applied voltage to power
input. Operating voltage is fixed and must only be changed by an authorized service
agent.
- Do not touch tubes while operating. Tubes are extremely hot devices and also
contain very high voltages.
- Do not open bottom covers. There are no user serviceable parts inside either
chassis, other than internal tubes and custom loading resistors.
- Do not operate the unit without connecting and locking all DC power cables.
