INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Callisto Line Stage. It has been engineered
to deliver the highest attainable sound quality from your music sources.
This is its sole purpose. Only the highest grade electronic components are
used in the Callisto, including: non-inductive wirewound resistors in the
signal path; polystyrene, polypropylene, and electrolytic power supply,
bypass, and signal capacitors; low noise matched vacuum tubes; glass epoxy
dual mono circuit boards; 20 gauge steel chassis; custom wound low flux
power transformers.

PLACEMENT

The Callisto main unit should be located away from possible sources of hum
such as power cords, power transformers and the like. It should not be
located on top of its own power supply or any other heat source such as a
power amplifier. It must be kept well ventilated at all times. If it is
positioned within an enclosed space then fans may be warranted. All air
vents must remain unobstructed. The power supply is the main source of
heat and should therefore be positioned for adequate ventilation and away
from the main unit. Placement of the power supply immediately below the
main unit reduces the lifespan of the main unit’s tubes.

CONNECTIONS

Note: Never connect power supply's power cord to a wall outlet while
umbilicals between main unit and power supply are disconnected.

A. Connect male end of one of the supplied umbilical cables to a power
output jack on the power supply. This is a keyed connector so proper
alignment is necessary for correct pin connection.

B. Connect female end of the same umbilical cable to a male receptacle on
the main unit.
