01. Safety concerns - what not to do
Don’t pry inside the machine. It uses high voltages. You’ll void the warranty
and risk electric shock.
For safety reasons especially with pets and children, use the tube cage.
Protect the machine against moisture and condensation.
Don’t defeat the ground.
Only replace fuses with original type (1.25A fast-blow for 230-240V version;
2.5A fast-blow for 100- 125V version)
When tube replacements are due, please contact your dealer or our fac-
tory.

1 x EINSTEIN power cord custom made
2 x gloves for handling
1 x owner’s manual
03. Design overview
The Amp circuitry closely mirrors that of our individual preamplifier The Preamp and
the The Silver Bullet OTL tube balanced power amp. In fact, without their prece-
dents, the stereo integrated in its current iteration would have never seen the light
of day. The OTL amp and celebrated The Preamp valved linestage paved the
way for the unique and proprietary realization of circuit architecture of The Amp.
To not bore you with tech talk, let’s put it this way:
The preamp section of The Amp borrows breakthrough inventions from The Pre-
amp; the output stage of The Amp is essentially the The Silver Bullet, albeit realized
with transistors rather than valves.
04. Setup
Insure adequate ventilation and a solid hard foundation. Do not place The Amp
atop other components nor place other components atop the EINSTEIN amplifier.
Due to the enormous capacities of our overbuilt transformers, record players and
phono stages should not be placed in close proximity to avoid picking up hum.
Proper HiFi racks with adequate spacing are most suitable and can even improve
audible system performance.
05. AC mains connection
The IEC power inlet and mains fuse holder are located on the back panel. Discon-
nect the amplifier from the AC plug if you have to replace the fuse. 230/115 volts
on the fuse contacts can cause serious electric shock.
06. Component connections.
Before initial power-up, install the interconnects to the sources and the cables to
your loudspeakers. If possible, connect the included ground wire between the
grounding posts of The Amp and your main source.
