Music Reference RM-200


Was the original RM-200 rated class A or just the MK.2? I remember both of them being, but I want some validation, someone has questioned me rudely about it. Also, can you sub a ECC180 for the 6BQ7 driver tube in the amp? 

Thanks

@clio09 -

Thanks very much for your detailed info on the RM-200 in this thread.  I've had a much-loved one (s/n #2019) since 2005 or so.  Even brought it down to Santa Barbara for repair one time.  Didn't get to meet Roger, though he replaced a transformer for me.

I think i understood you to say that the RM-200 is fully balanced *differential* from input to output.  I've just ordered a new REL subwoofer which i plan to connect using their high-level input (connects to the speaker terminals on the amp).  The connection is different for differential amps (the ground wire doesn't connect to the negative terminal) so i want to make sure i get it right.

I've used it for years with an Audio Research LS-25 mkII preamp which i believe is also fully balanced (but that's not really relevant to my current question ;-^).

Thanks again,
