been

designed

to

provide

a

high

performance/cost

ratio

and

all

of

the

sonic

benefits

assured

by

Harman

Kardon's

design

philosophy.

Much

emphasis

has

been

placed

on

minimizing

the

effects

of

the

construction

on

the

hk870's

sound

quality.

High

grade

capacitors

with

ex-

tremely

low

loss

are

used

in

the

power

supply

and

amplifier

circuitry.

All

wires

are

carefully

routed

so

as

to

reduce

pick-up

and

crosstalk.

Critical

grounding

points

are

connected

to

the

chassis

by

copper

thread

-cutting

screws

to

guarantee

very

low

resistance.

In

order

to

obtain

the

best

performance

from

the

hk870,

please

be

sure

to

read

this

owner's

manual

and

use

the
