(including some "audiophile" recordings), so listen to several before
concluding your investigation of absolute phase.
AC LINE POLARITY
Each piece of electronic equipment in your system is subject to minute
ac leakage currents to the chassis. Since the chassis of components in
a system are usually connected via the ground side of the interconnect
wires, these leakage currents are super imposed on the musical signals.
It is possible to minimize these current flows by carefully selecting the
way in which each component is plugged into the wall outlet. Because
the power cord on the PV11 is not polarized, it can be plugged in two
ways. It will normally sound better in one orientation than in the other.
The same will be true of any electronic device in your system.
THE IMPORTANCE OF WIRES
Interconnect and speaker wires are an important element in your stereo
system. Interconnects are available which will permit a reference quality
system to blossom and fulfill its promise of musical reality. Others will
strangle the system to the point where it becomes no better than
average. To complicate matters, our experience suggests that the
choice of interconnects will be system dependent- those that are ranked
first on a given system may be a poor choice for a different system.
Consult your conrad-johnson dealer for recommendations for your spe-
cific system.
TIP
Warm up the PV11 before listening: The sonic performance of the PV11
improves noticeably as the unit warms up. The midrange becomes more
lucid, the highs smoother, and the soundstage expands. Most of the
improvement will occur in the first half hour of warm up.
Questions: If you have questions about the installation or function of
your PV11 do not hesitate to call Customer Service at (703) 698-8581.
