Congratulations. In the Motif MC9 you have a precision audio preamplifier of
highest quality. It is the result of nearly a decade of research by William Conrad and
Lewis Johnson into the application of solid state devices to the reproduction of
recorded music. The circuit design has been executed with the highest quality
component parts and each unit has been painstakingly hand assembled by skilled
assembly technicians. The completed instrument has been subjected to a rigorous
quality inspection program entailing exacting performance measurements followed
by a 100 hour "burn-in" period and re-inspection.

Every effort has been made to provide you with an audio instrument capable of
achieving a believable illusion of live music when listening to high quality
recordings. This manual contains many important suggestions on how to realize the
full potential of your MC9. Please take a few minutes to read it.
