Congratulations on your purchase of the Audio Note (UK) Meishu Phono Silver
Signature Integrated Amplifier.
It is a Pure Class A Singled Ended valve amplifier that uses the highly regarded 300B
direct heated triode valve, producing a level of performance that is radically superior
to the vast majority of current designs.
It has been specifically engineered for sonic performance rather than technical
specification, and fulfills all Audio Note (UK) Level 3 criteria: -
Pure Class A operation
Zero Negative Feedback
Single Ended Output Stage
Valve Rectification
Directly Heated Triode operation
Materials and component quality
The Silver Signature version builds upon the already superb performance of the
standard Meishu, and features the following additions: -
Audio Note Silver wiring
Audio Note Copper Foil signal capacitors
Audio Note Tantalum film resistors
IHiB C-core output transformers
Please take care when unpacking your
Meishu Phono Silver Signature Integrated
Amplifier. Choose a clean, clear location to unpack your unit. Be aware that the
amplifier is very heavy; before attempting to unpack or lift the unit, check the weight
and if necessary use more than one person so that it can be moved safely and
easily.
We recommend that you retain and carefully store all of the original packing
materials, in case transportation / shipping is required at a later date.
Select a suitable location for the unit. This should be a dry, dust free and level area,
preferably shielded from direct sunlight and free from vibration. Also ensure that the
location is stable and capable of carrying the weight of the unit.
A suitable mains power outlet must be close to the location; power cords must not be
pulled or stretched tightly in an attempt to reach a wall socket. If the power cord will
not easily reach the socket, choose a closer location!
Please ensure that adequate ventilation for the unit is provided, and that airflow
through any ventilation slots in the unit is not restricted. We recommend a distance of
at least 30cm free space is maintained above the unit. Please also remember that
valve equipment operates at extremely high temperatures, so a position that is
inaccessible to any children or animals is essential.
