They come with new Mullard and Telefunken Black Diamond tubes, the original Electro Harmonix tubes, a digital multimeter to adjust the bias, and upgraded power cords. Also included are the original inner and outer shipping boxes and the owner’s manual.
Here’s some more info:
M400S are mono blocks featuring a completely hand crafted chassis. It has a simple design, is easy to use, and offers outstanding headroom performance. There is a toggle switch on each monoblock towards the front. It is labeled Ultralinear toward the front and Triode towards the rear. Triode mode reduces the output to about 22 watts instead of 40 but tightens the bass end somewhat and gives sweeter, more “tubelike” midrange reproduction. The Ultralinear mode was an invention of David Hafler and Herbert Keroes in l951. It uses tetrodes or pentodes and special taps on the output transformer. These taps are connected to the screen grids of the tubes, causing them to be driven with part of the output signal. This lowers distortion and is seen on amps using only certain power tubes, of which the EL34 is one.
