Official M2 schematic

I used to use pure silver 28-30AWG wire, I still has enough for a while.....
I do tried a very similar wire purchased from USA Ebay and compare to the expensive pure silver these is a great deal and sound great. Purchased several years back (reason I write very similar)
Artistic Wire Silver Plated Champagne Color 26 Gauge 30 Yard Spool 43234 Round | eBay
You should ask for 30AWG if you would like thinner wire. The good think these does not need tubing very similar to the magnet wire..

Since we are wandering around O.T., I recall that the system I first took to
RMAF needed long interconnects from preamp to amp, and we had noise
issues, both in the test system at home and the one at the show. Nothing I
did would make it go away. However I had ordered up some silver
interconnects from Kimber for the occasion, and when I installed them, the
noise totally disappeared, an example of a definitive, if expensive, audio improvement.

:cool:

My Allen Wright DIY silver ribbon IC were just as good a a $5000 pair of Shunyata ICs. The owner of the Shunyata ICs though so too. :)

Finally got my M2 powered up. It uses Grimberg's boards, 2SK1530 & 2SJ201 and a CLC power supply, based on an Antek 500Va 18V transformer. Bias current is 1.8A, and after 25 minutes or so the heat sinks are pretty steady at around 50ºC. DC offset is 0.6mV, and doesn't seem to be affected at all by the trimpot. The only thing that seems a little odd is that the power supply rails are only about 20.8V instead of 22-24V. Haven't tried to listen yet.
