Official M2 schematic

Hi all

First power up of left channel.
No blown thingies, so that is good :)

But alas... 9mV from between R3/4 and GND so I presume I should fiddle with R3 and R4 values (both pretty exactly 10R now). Q3/Q4 are pretty close match as far as I know.
Any suggestion on value(s) to try?

And DC offset on outputs: With P1 at factory value (not measured) somewhere between -700mV and -800mV. P1 fully clockwise lowers this to about -280mV. So I am about to increase R7 to 56k. Or should I jump higher? Have 68k and 73k2 on hand. Both R6 and R7 are 47k at the moment.

One other quick question. Looked for it on the thread but did not find it (that could be me :) )

I was planning to put two mono volume pots at the back of the chassis for master volume adjust and volume matching (acoustically - nasty rooms). I had a NAD 916 a long time ago which had this and I found this very handy at the time. Any pot recommendations (at least which impedance to use)?

Hmm

DC at Edcor: Parallelling 133R with R4 lowers R3/4 junction to GND from 0.009V to 0.007V. Parallelling another 133R (so 10R + 133R + 133R) lowers further to 0.006V

The DC offset at output jumped (with P1 full clockwise) from -300mV to +2000mV when increasing R7 from 47k to 56k. Fully turning P1 to counterclockwise lowers to 424mV
