TUBE REPLACEMENT (DAC-100t)
The Cary Audio DAC-100t’s tube circuit is designed to offer several years of performance under
normal listening conditions. Please bear in mind that tube degradation is a slow and subtle
process over time. As such, after several years of enjoyment one may not notice any significant
difference in performance. Therefore, we recommend regularly scheduling tube replacement every
two to three years or sooner if usage is heavy. Please follow the procedures below or log into Cary
Audio’s online Customer Service Center (www.caryaudio.com/support/servicereturns) for an RMA.
• Tube Replacement Procedure:
o Disconnect any attached connectors (AC power cord, and audio cables) from
the unit.
o Remove screws holding top cover.
o Remove tubes and replace them with the correct replacement tube (6922)
being sure the pins are inserted correctly and the tubes are fully seated.
o Take care in handling the tubes properly minimizing any direct contact with
your fingers. A soft, lint free glove or cloth works best.
o Replace top cover and reinstall screws.
CAUTION:
• ALWAYS disconnect the unit from the AC outlet and power cord.
