6. Vedligeholdelse
6.1 Rengøring
Rengør amplifier's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the ampStrømforsyningen tages ud af stikkontakten før rengøring.
6.2 Udskiftning af rør
Vacuum tubes have a finite lifespan and will eventually need replacement. Symptoms of worn tubes include reduced output, loss of tone, or excessive noise. Due to high internal voltages and the need for proper biasing, tube replacement and biasing should only be performed by a qualified service technician. Incorrect biasing can lead to premature tube failure and damage to the amplivligere.
6.3 Generel pleje
- Undgå at udsætte amplifier til ekstreme temperaturer eller fugtighed.
- Transporter amplifier carefully to prevent physical damage.
- Always use appropriate speaker cables for connections; never use instrument cables for speakers.
