Genesis Reference Amplifier Owners Manual Ver 2.0

A Message from Genesis
The transparency, detail retrieval, macro- and micro-dynamics, and
wide frequency extension of Genesis loudspeakers place great
demands on the quality of amplification. Hence, to match the Genesis
loudspeakers, the Genesis Reference Series of amplifiers was
created as the finest musical amplifiers available.
The Genesis Reference Amplifier, 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.
Transistor etch and harshness are completely absent, while retaining
the slam and control of the best of solid-state.
During development, we benchmarked against the best cost-no-
object amplifiers – both solid-state and vacuum tube. While we were
intent on developing a value-priced product, quality has not been
scaled down. Hand-selected, precisely matched components are
used throughout: copper-core silver wire with Teflon insulation is used
in the entire signal and power path. Each and every unit is completely
hand-assembled in the USA, and burned-in before final testing and
measurement.
The result of all this obsessive attention to detail is a fabulously
musical power amplifier capable of driving almost any loudspeaker in
the world. The state of the environment is also taken care of with
extremely high efficiency, instant warm up, and a simple, functional,
and elegant design.

Before using this unit, please take the time to carefully review the
safety instructions and operating information contained in this

correct operating procedures will help assure you of safe usage,
reliable operation, and maximum musical enjoyment.

Some of the inspiration for the GR-Amp came from the sci-fi movies “Silent
Running” and “Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future”.
