INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Audio Note (UK) JINRO Shochu Stereo

Power Amplifier.

It is a Pure Class A Singled Ended valve amplifier that uses the highly regarded 211

triode valve, producing a level of performance that is radically superior to the vast

majority of current designs.

Sharing the circuit design found in the legendary ONGAKU Kensei and TOMEI

Kensei amplifiers, the JINRO Shochu use Copper for all transformer windings rather

than Silver or Silver / Copper to produce a performance that is both unique and

beguiling.

Level 3 components are used throughout, including Audio Note (UK)™ Copper Foil

Capacitors and in-house designed and manufactured Copper wired output

transformers.

It has been specifically engineered for sonic performance rather than technical

specification, and fulfills all Audio Note (UK) Level 3 criteria: -

Pure Class A operation

Zero Negative Feedback

Single Ended Output Stage

Valve Rectification

Directly Heated Triode operation

Materials and component quality

JINRO SHOCHU

Please take care when unpacking your JINRO Shochu Stereo Power Amplifier.

Choose a clean, clear location to unpack your unit. Be aware that the amplifier is very

heavy; before attempting to unpack or lift the unit, check the weight and if necessary

use more than one person so that it can be moved safely and easily.

We recommend that you retain and carefully store all of the original packing

materials, in case transportation / shipping is required at a later date.

Select a suitable location for the unit. This should be a dry, dust free and level area,

preferably shielded from direct sunlight and free from vibration. Also ensure that the

location is stable and capable of carrying the weight of the unit.

A suitable mains power outlet must be close to the location; power cords must not be

pulled or stretched tightly in an attempt to reach a wall socket. If the power cord will

not easily reach the socket, choose a closer location!

Please ensure that adequate ventilation for the unit is provided, and that airflow

through any ventilation slots in the unit is not restricted. We recommend a distance of

at least 50cm free space is maintained above the unit, and preferably it should be

sited in free space or on the top shelf of your equipment rack or table. Please also

remember that valve equipment operates at extremely high temperatures, so a

position that is inaccessible to any children or animals is essential.

UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION

The amplifier is shipped without the valves installed. It is necessary to install the

valves before the amplifier can be operated.

It is essential that the valves are installed correctly or serious damage that is not

covered by the warranty will result. We recommend that your dealer perform

this procedure for you if you are in any way unsure.

FIRSTLY, ENSURE THAT THE AMPLIFIER IS NOT CONNECTED TO A MAINS

ELECTRICAL SUPPLY, AND THAT THE POWER CORD IS NOT CONNECTED TO

THE AMPLIFIER.

Now remove the 6 valves that are packed inside the amplifier. Also inspect the

amplifier to check that nothing has become damaged during transit.

Carefully unwrap the 6 valves. You will find the following: -

2 x 6V6 signal valves

2 x 211 output valves

2 x 5R4WGB rectifier valves

Once again, please understand that it is absolutely vital these valves are fitted

correctly.

Looking from the front of the amplifier, install the 211 valves first: -

VALVE INSTALLATION

Inspect a 211 valve and you will notice that there is a small ‘pin’ protruding from one

side of the valve base; this locating pin ensures that the valve can only be correctly

inserted into the amplifier in one way.

Also examine the two large apertures in the top plate of the amplifier, located

between the two small valves and the black rectangular transformer covers. These

are the insertion points for the 211 valves.

1) Gently hold a 211 valve, and locate the small side mounted pin on the valve

base.

2) Line up this pin with the locating hole in the mounting aperture on the

amplifier’s top plate.

3) Gently insert the valve, and GENTLY twist in a clockwise direction, until the

valve ‘locks’ in position, and no more movement can take place.

Please make sure that steps (1), (2) and (3) are correct. Check again that both

valves are fully inserted correctly in to their respective valve sockets.

VALVE INSTALLATION continued…

Looking from the back of the amplifier, insert the 5R4WGB valves into the two empty

sockets located on the left, situated between the black rectangular transformer

covers and the loudspeaker connection binding posts. Locate the rib on the central

pin of the valve and align with the valve base (it can only be inserted one way due to

this locating rib) and with gentle but firm pressure insert the valve.

Finally, insert the two 6V6 signal valves into the front two sockets. The valves are

identical and can only be inserted one way.

Check one more time that all of the 6 valves are correctly fitted!

VALVE INSTALLATION continued…
