6.1 רייניקונג
ריין די amplifier's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the amplifier is unplugged before cleaning.
6.2 Tube Replacement
Vacuum tubes have a finite lifespan and will eventually need replacement. Symptoms of worn tubes include reduced output, loss of tone, or excessive noise. Due to high internal voltages and the need for proper biasing, tube replacement and biasing should only be performed by a qualified service technician. Incorrect biasing can lead to premature tube failure and damage to the ampליפער.
