I did a scan for a free online schematic of the M8 as well.

My recollection is that the later tubed Akai recorders with built-in mono
power amplifiers (which AFAIK included some models that were stereo up to
line level), had power amps that were indeed p-p. But, the ones with
stereo tubed power amps were single-ended. IOW, the decision to built
single-ended power amps was related to issues like packaging, not a desire
to go backwards technologically.

I'm sure that just about every AKAI M8, which were sold in huge volumes to
GIs through PXs and not to audiophiles through high end audio stores, has
been safely consigned to a landfill. Of course it takes an maniac like this
Jute sockpuppet to try to globally abuse someone over a tiny nit like this.

While I'm not certain who abused who, it is hardly a "tiny nit" to confuse
a push pull amplifier with a single ended tube amplifier, especially when
single ended amplifiers are what the thread is discussing.

Please refrain from this pathetic licking of Jute's arse. SET does not
and never has meant single-ended tube, it means single-ended *triode*,
which the M8 certainly was not.
