Your new amplifier is a true Stereo design, whereby each channel operates completely independent of the other. The chassis,
power cord and power switch are the only parts of this amplifier that both channels share. The performance of your W5.3
will continue to improve during the first 300 hours of listening. This is the result of a “break-in” period required for the
numerous high quality electronic parts used throughout this amplifier.
