I got the Micheal Anthony tube diver TD2150 (150 RMS watts x 2 @ 4ohms, 300 RMS watts x 2 @ 2 ohms). Apparently PPI (essentially the same amps as Butler/TubeDriver versions) used $300,000 in just R&D engineering funds for a limited production (<100)of a special edition, rare amp with exotic Russian tubes.

I got a question one one of my really limited edition M2150 (PPI/Tube Driver/Butler) spent $300,000 on R&D for just <100units.

It has a single mini-DIN balanced input for two channels. Can I use Zapco "SymbiLink" transmitter/receiver with their mini-DIN balanced cable?

For a rare amp like that, I'd call up the company and make sure :)

It appears to have the same confoguration as zapco's Symbilink. obviously there must be some standard for a mini-balanced DIN plug/socket, just like XLR is a format is used in a many pro audio equipment.

I can use RCA's (I got the last of Monster's David Navone- patented Pro, 4:1 ratio, twisted-pair, RCA cable). But if there is a balanced cable--especially if I use the Zapco Sl SX pre-amp/EQ/X-over with the symbilink, that would seem to be the best way to go
