Using AC Line Conditioners
Of the wide range of power line conditioners currently available, some can provide substantial improvement in sound
while others actually degrade sonic performance. Use caution in selecting a power line conditioner for your system. In
particular, avoid using inexpensive “surge protectors”. Although these can prevent damage from high voltage spikes,
they often degrade performance.
Leaving the AC power on
Leaving the power on allows the circuitry to remain at a constant operating temperature, providing better performance
and longer life. However, there is always a slight increase in risk of fire or damage to any electrical component when
the power is left on. We leave the decision to Burson product powered to the individual owner.
Break-in and warm-up
Careful listeners will notice that the sound of the Burson PI1-00 improves steadily after the unit is powered-up. A new
unit will undergo more dramatic changes when power is applied for the first time. Depending on the resolution of the
system and the attentiveness of the listener, you may find that the sound continues to improve over the first several
weeks of operation. If the power is disconnected for a period of an hour or more, the unit will undergo similar but less
dramatic break-in.
Powering up
1
St
time powering up you AB160 make sure
volume control has been turn to minimal.
Power up your system follows the three steps
from source to power amp. When powering
down your system reverse the steps.
Tips
•Connect your AB160 directly to the wall socket with a good quality power cable Instead of channel thought a
power board will yield better result.
•Warm up your AB160 for 30 min is recommenced before each listening section.
•It is recommended to apply contact clearing product such as Deoxit ProGold Contact Cleaner to all input and
output connectors every 6 months.
