warm up/break-in period
Your new Classé preampli–er 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 –rst 300 hours, as
the preampli–er 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.
The only exception to this rule is if the unit is unplugged for an extended period
of time, allowing it to cool down. Depending on the degree of cooling involved,
you should expect a brief warm-up period before the preampli–er»s sound
quality is at its best. Unless your preampli–er 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.
