warm up/break-in period Your new Classé integrated amplifier will deliver outstanding performance
immediately. However, you should expect to hear it improve somewhat as
it reaches its normal operating temperatures and its various components
“break-in.” It has been our experience that the greatest changes occur within the
first 300 hours, as the integrated amplifier reaches thermal equilibrium and the
capacitors fully form. After this initial break-in period, the performance of your
new product should remain quite consistent for years to come.
e only exception to this rule is if the unit is unplugged for an extended period
oftime,allowingittocooldown.Dependingonthedegreeofcoolinginvolved,
you should expect a brief warm-up period before the sound quality is at its best.
Unless your amplifier was allowed to become quite chilled, subsequent thermal
re-stabilization should not take long. Fortunately, you should never have to
repeat the initial 300 hour break-in period.
please read this manual… Please take a few minutes to review this manual, and to familiarize yourself
with your new integrated amplifier. We understand that you are anxious to plug
everything in and get started. However, reading this manual and following the
advice it gives will ensure that you get all the benefits you deserve from having
