X-P100

REMOTE CONTROL CLASS A

PREAMPLIFIER

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Thank you for purchasing the Musical Fidelity

X-P100 Remote Control Class A Pre-Amplifier.

Used properly and carefully, it should give you many

years of outstanding musical reproduction.

This X-P100 is closely based on our highly

regarded (and now unavailable) Nu-Vista model but

uses a specially selected J-FET in place of the

Nuvistor triode.

The X-P100 has been designed to offer almost

indistiguishable sonic charateristics to the Nu-Vista.

Aesthetically and electronically the X-P100 matches

perfectly with the X-AS100 power amplifier, X-RAY 24 bit

CD player and X-PLORA tuner. Together, they form one

of the finest hi-fi systems available.

Dust regularly with a soft duster or soft brush but be

careful when using cleaning or polishing agents - they may

harm the surface finish.

If you have any questions about anything in your

audio system, please consult your dealer who is there

to help and advise you.

CONNECTIONS INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of an X-P100 remote control Class A preamplifier. The X-P100 is a new model based on our innovative and now very highly regarded Nu-Vista valve preamp but using Field Effect Transistors in place of the Nuvistor valves used in that model. These transistors were carefully selected from the great many alternatives we tested because of their close similarity in both measured perfomance and sonic fingerprint to the 6CW4 Nuvistor.

CONNECTIONS You will also be able to hear the selected source through the loudspeakers. Note - you can adjust the listening level with the volume control without affecting the recording level. OFF TAPE MONITORING In conjunction with a 3-head cassette deck, off-tape monitoring allows the user to compare the recorded to original sound whilst a recording is made. To do this first select the required source in the normal way and start recording.

TROUBLESHOOTING Basic troubleshooting of an amplifier is similar to troubleshooting of any other electrical or electronic equipment. Always check the most obvious possible causes first.
