Krell Industries MD2 Turntable User Manual


 
QAI
Do you recommend I leave the MD-2 ON at all times?
Yes. These circuits are most accurate and stable when
left to idle while not in use. In fact, discrete parts age
faster when cycled ON and OFF. The MD-2 will sound
better and last longer if left ON.
NOTE: You should disconnect the AC cord from the wall
outlet before any electrical storms or if you plan to be
away from your home for prolonged periods of time.
AQI
~Will the MD-2 play if the dust cover is fully raised?
Certainly. The unit will function perfectly even with
the dust cover removed.
Q. Due to the exposed nature of the laser assembly is
there a possibility of damage through laser radiation?
A. No. There is an optical sensor under the CD when it is
positioned on the transport hub. This allows the MD-2 to
prohibit the laser from turning on when it is not covered
with a CD.
IQ. I own many CD’s which have CD Rings on them. Am
able to use these discs with the MD-2?
A. Yes, the MD-2 will accept discs with "CD Rings".
_D.ue to their very low mass they will not damage the MD-
2’s transport. While we can neither affirm or deny the
benefits derived from the use of CD Rings, we do not
feel that any type of disc equilibrium device is required
with the MD-2 when properly used with our CD Stabi-
lizer
Caution: We strongly_ advise against the use of any type
of additional disc stabilizer. These items add too much
mass to the laser servo system and may burn out the
drive.
Q. Do you recommend the use of "Cones" or other damp-
ing feet with the MD-2?
A. Due to the extraordinary rigidity of our machining and
internal damping we do not feel that the MD-2 requires
additional mass coupling or isolation. If you wish to use
an after-market isolation device yo~ may do so without
fear of dam. agingthe MD-2. Any device which affi.xes
permanently to the chassis or requires a breach of the
external chassis will void the warranty.
