the ones with 4 input tubes and all 14 output tubes are behind them in two rows? I think these are MK 2.1. Thanks (se as in single ended :)

100K se and 200K balanced...is that a safe assumption? I need to set the filters for a pair of Vandersteen 2wq woofers, and they use the input impedance for the RC filter.

That's kind of been the standard for Ralph's amplifiers. Sorry for the delay; I was going to respond yesterday and got distracted. Also, only Ralph will know for sure, but it's a fair assumption that 100K with SE input and 200K with balanced input is correct.

 

Nearly all our amps are set up that way, posted on February 27, 2015 at 08:23:36

The MA-2 and MA-3 have input termination that can be set to 600 ohms by a switch.

Some of the very early (1970s and 1980s) amplifiers had 500K input impedances.
