grannyring,
Yes I will keep you updated with the 2a3 build and prices.
porscheracer,
If my memory is correct,
The m22 has about 23db of voltage gain which is only 3db lwr than most SS amps at 26db.It's been a long time since I had mine.
You probably will be just fine running it in your rack as long as all 4 sides are open.You should be able to touch the heatsinks for at least 5 seconds and not be too painful.It would be nice if you had more height than 2 inches if possible.
The M22 has extremely low distortion and a very good signal to noise ratio of 106.Very impressive specs back in 1976.Being a pure class A push pull design it probably draws about 240 watts from the wall anytime it's on even with no music playing.
Most of the original M22 and M25 amps found there way to Asia because they are highly collectible.
I know we covered this 1 watt subject before,I find my MZ2S quite good sounding by itself with simple acoustic jazz and vocal music but It's not enough for really rocking out or full Orchestra music at realistic levels.
I can say also that it's one heck of a great sounding headphone amp but I don't even own any and had to borrow a pair to find out.
Probably at your loudest listening I doubt that you are using more than 8 to 10 watts with the M22 and your Di speakers.
Enjoy that music,
Kenny.
