I'm Mark.
The crossovers on my scruffy, just for spares, DM2's have DM2a written on the crossover, but have no switch. I was thinking of using them. Alternatively I could just bypass the switch, as I have it in the middle position.
I think the pre-amp maybe the weak link in the system at the moment. So that might be sorted before playing around with anything else.
And I've got to finish off my tt power supply.

There were some strange mixes of DM2 and DM2a. I have two pairs of DM2a's that are marked DM2 on the back, but have the DM2a switch and came with DM2a instruction booklets.
The crossovers for the speakers with the switch and without the switch slightly are different. There are some component value changes. Also the HF1300 is connected electrically in phase in one, but out of phase in the other. Forget which is which, would have to check the circuit diagrams.
I have recently give a pair of DM2's (no 1300 level) switch to a good friend. He is delighted with the sound of them. He also has Quad ESL63's, Tannoy Chatsworths, some AR's (forget which) Small vintage MS and several others. Incidentally, his dad was Technical Manager at Vitavox.

Could well be, i think they will be better with the Audax 'TW025A0' tweeters fitted in their place.
Not eBay but my local cash converters has two technics SL1210 mk2's for £145 each. No cartridge. I know nothing more than that I'm afraid.
I'm not interested but post it here in case anyone is.
