INTRODUCTION 1 Thank you for purchasing the AMPLIFIER 60.0. This amplifier is a precision device designed in an effort to provide the listener with unmatched soudn quality through superb design and construction. Although it’s operation is fairly simple, in order to operate your amplifier properly and realize all the capabilities of the 60.0 we recommend you read this entire manual carefully.
INITIAL SETUP 2 WARNING: Please ensure that the power switch is turned OFF while you are connecting the r. Connecting or disconnecting cables while the is powered on could cause damage to your speakers. The connectors are clearly marked on the back panel of the ampli er. 1. Audio input can be by balanced or unbalanced interconnects. Connect only one type of input at a time, connecting balanced and unbalanced connectors can cause damage or distortion. between the positive and negative posts or post pairs.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY 4 I. Design Philosophy and Approach The subtlety of the design process at this level of performance makes it impossible to easily explain all of the advantages inherent in the 60.0. However, we present here an overview to give you an understanding of some of its unique features and an idea of the listening experience you can expect. a particular technique has numerous unrelated advantages and possibilities.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY 5 I. Design Philosophy and Approach (continued) To maintain “Precision Bias” requires an advanced bias circuit that must have a very high degree of stability under a wide range of temperatures and load conditions. networks are of such high impedance and poor thermal regulation that at the extremes of operation, bias currents are controlled. Advanced tracking techniques used in the 60.0 result in absolute control of bias currents under all conditions.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY 6 II. Material Quality The amplifier’s chassis is made from machined aluminum. All exterior metal parts are anodized or powder coated for durability. Printed circuit boards are fiberglass epoxy with gold plating over a tin/nickel barrier. The gold layer will not corrode, while the barrier layer prevents the gold from migrating to the lower copper layer. All resistors are precision metal film; 1% tolerance for 1/4-watt and 5% tolerance for 1-watt.

CARE AND HANDLING 8 The interior of the amplifier requires no special care. If exterior cleaning beyond simple dusting is required, any dilute ammonia-based product is recommended. Do not use any abrasive rags, cleaners or chemical solvents on the amplifier. When handling the amplifier, take care not to mar the faceplate. Aluminum is a medium hardness metal and can be scratched by harder tool steels, and the grained surface can be easily marred if the amplifier is set face-down on a hard surface.
