Dear Friend,
Congratulations on your purchase of the Sunfire
Classic Preamplifier. We believe its sophisticated
engineering and meticulous craftsmanship will
provide you with many years of listening enjoyment.
At the heart of the Classic is a high-perfor-
mance control preamplifier with extremely low noise
and distortion, wide dynamic range, and a high
degree of control flexibility. An optional phono board
may be added for precise RIAA phono equalization
of moving magnet and moving coil cartridges. Your
Classic will provide remarkable three-dimensional
realism, with a sumptuous sonic image which can
extend beyond the loudspeakers in both breadth
and depth.
