Up for sale is a pair of Genesis M60 monoblocks with NOS tubes. These amps are the most musical amps I've owned by a fair margin. The amp architecture utilizes point to point wiring so no electronic boards, as well as custom made paper in oil transformers. Genesis only made these amps for a short period because they were losing considerable money on each unit. The addition of the NOS tubes as well as the upgraded Synergistic Research fuses have propelled the amps to the next level with more inner detail, more warmth and sweetness, as well as a wider, deeper soundstage. I've run these amps with a pair of sonus faber cremona auditor m's (4ohm), a pair of spendor 2/3s (6ohm), a pair of vintage dynaco a25s (8ohm), and a pair of zu audio druid mk4/08s (16ohm) and the amps made each sing like they hadnt with any of my other amps.

I'm marking condition as a 7/10 due to some minor swirling on the paint from cleaning, a few scratches that I've documented in the photos, and some damage to the plastic speaker tap casings. I'm not the first owner, and the previous owner told me that he had overtightened the taps so the plastic had come loose. I considered replacing the taps, but since I never had any issue with the connections, and the taps are never seen, I decided to leave them stock.

The amps are consecutively numbered, and I have the manual and original boxes.

Here's a rundown of the NOS tube allotment:
4 NOS Tung-sol 6550 tubes. 2 of them are labeled Tung-sol while 1 is raytheon and the other is GE (NOTE: the tung-sol bottle shape prevents the use of the tube cages. I recommend not using the tube cages unless absolutely necessary due to restricted heat dissipation)
4 6SN7 GTB sylvania tubes.
2 5691 RCA red plates. These are considered by some to be the holy grail of 6SL7 type tubes.

These tubes worked well in my system in it's current state, but I rolled tubes regularly based on equipment changes and recommend that you do the same. What sounds good with my gear, might not sound good with yours!

I will ship the tubes separately, and mark where each goes in what slot within the amps. Additionally, I thoroughly rebiased the tubes in the amps so please put the tubes back into their correct slots at first. Once they're warmed up, you should also rebias the amp voltages for your power grid. This prevents damage to the amp/tubes and prolongs the life of the tubes. (and makes them sound the best)

Please add 3.5% for paypal fees
Buyer will pay shipping for 3 packages (2 amps and 1 box of tubes). Shipping will be calculated based on buyer's address.

Thanks for looking!
