Thank you for purchasing the ADVANTAGE S-250 Power-
amplifier.
Your S-250 is a state-of-the-art unit, and has been assembled
by highly skilled ADVANTAGE craftsmen to provide you
with many years of listening pleasure. Our unit’s esteem arises
from the way we handle music-signals. ADVANTAGE
develops products for people who wish absolutely natural an
enjoyable music reproduction.
Reduction is the principle for the shaping of all
ADVANTAGE components. The unobtrusive design
harmonizes with almost every environment and does not
compete with your personal sphere. The form refers to the
tonal ability of the product line, whose composure and
strength manifests a well-balanced equilibrium.
Design
Due to the extremely short signal paths designed and built
into this piece of equipment, a significant "burn-in" period is
required before the unit will reach its maximum sonic
potential.
We recommend the unit be left on (or in standby mode) at all
times, especially during the first 5-6 weeks of operation, in
order to speed the "burn-in" process.
For best results, the S-250 should be left on or in the standby
mode at all times. The unit should not be switched off via the
master ON/OFF switch unless the unit will not be being used
for a significant period of time (during vacations, etc.).
“Burn-In”
Balanced signal transmission means that two signal lines are
used which carry the same signal with opposite phase. On the
receiving side, the signals are mixed. Since any noise
interference that has arisen during transmission will be
present in both lines with identical phase, such noise is
canceled out, leaving only the pure original signal. Balanced
connection therefore keeps the signal transfer free from any
kind of interference.
