M60 Owners Manual Ver 1.2 2 A Message from Genesis The Genesis Monoblock 60-Watt Valve (or vacuum tube) Amplifier is a limited-edition product that was created as proof of concept that a well- designed, well-executed, value-priced amplifier will be able to drive any Genesis loudspeaker with ease and authority. The transparency, detail retrieval, dynamics, and wide frequency extension of Genesis loudspeakers place great demands on the quality of amplification. Because of our emphasis on absolute fidelity™ above all else, the speakers do represent a difficult, but not impossible load for an amplifier to drive. The M60 was created as a partner to a pair of Genesis loudspeakers, and as a result, it has the quality of amplifiers costing much more. The M60, together with a pair of Genesis loudspeakers, will give your entire music collection a whole new life. In a well set-up system, it is capable of transporting the musical performance into your room. The hiss and hum normally associated with vacuum tubes are completely absent, while retaining the richness and rightness of the best of this genre of amplifiers. While developing a value-priced product, quality has not been scaled down. Hand-selected, precisely matched components are used throughout: custom-made military-spec paper-in-oil capacitors with aluminum cans are selectively used; the output transformers and power transformer are laboriously hand wound to precise specifications tailored to the circuit and valves used. Point-to-point wiring using solid-core silver wire is used in the entire signal path. This reduces the resistance, capacitance and inductance normally associated with ordinary printed circuit boards. Each and every unit is first burned-in on the test bench, and then run in for over 100 hours before final test and packaging. Very little feedback is used – just enough to make the amplifier unconditionally stable. Not the excessive amount usually employed to make amplifiers measure better at the expense of musicality. The result of all this obsessive attention to detail is a fabulously musical power amplifier capable of driving almost any loudspeaker in the world. Before using this unit, please take the time to carefully review the safety instructions and operating information contained in this Owners Manual and Set-up Guide. Becoming familiar with your new amplifier and the correct operating procedures will help assure you of safe usage, reliable operation, and maximum musical enjoyment.
