INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Thank you for purchasing the Musical Fidelity
Elektra E20 Preamplifier . Used properly and carefully, it should give you many years of outstanding
musical reproduction.
The E20 is the result of many years painstaking
research and development. The E20 is designed for
ultra-high definition performance and is equipped
with full remote control facilities.
Aesthetically, the E20 is a perfect match for the

systems that you can own today.
Dust regularly with a soft duster or soft brush but
do not use cleaning or polishing agents - they may harm
the surface finish.
