The main smoothing capacitors had given up after all these years and leaked out their electrolyte. Both amps have had new ones fitted.

The M1 where a new update between the time I started auditioning and placing my order. So I suspect they would be the second variation. Meridian did check them out at the time the 101 was upgraded by them to 101b and I got a new Moving coil module.
