Excellent measured performance is to be expected in
For this reason, all Classé products are laboriously
As an example, we may listen to half a dozen 0.1% tolerance film resistor components of the same value, from several different companies. Standard tests may show them all to provide identical results in terms of noise, distortion, and so forth. Yet, almost invariably, one selection yields some small improvement in the subjective reaction to the performance of the product under development. Less often, even a single such change can result in a surprisingly large improvement.
Multiply those various improvements by the dozens or even hundreds of such decisions that must be made before the product can be finalized for production, and you have a remarkable improvement, indeed – all based on careful listening tests, which we view as a necessary complement to the solid engineering you might rightly expect from Classé.
Another benefit of having worked with highly refined circuit designs so extensively over many years is that we have vast experience in what works well over the long term.
By using only the highest quality parts to begin with, and then using them in an informed way as a result of both accelerated aging experiments and actual long- term experience, we are able to design and manufacture products which we are confident will stand the test of time.
We are confident that your new Classé preamplifier will give you many years of
