Lectron JH-30 help


Guys, I'm thinking about rearranging my second system (and maybe first...) and going with the Lectron driving my LS3/5A speakers there.

I saw one for sale about two months ago, but didn't save the gentleman's ad or name. Does anyone remember (I can't remember if it sold or not)?

Also, any comments on it driving the LS3/5A/s? I'm driving them right now with an AirTight ATM300 SE 8 watter, and feel that they would be happier with some more watts?

Any issues of reliability/age deterioration after ten years from present users?

Thanks much,

Mark

Looking for some feedback ? Here is my small experience with the Lectron LH 30.
I once had it home for a weekend and did managed a bit of listening.
I can tell you, to look for it revewed in Stereophile some years ago and accept the very positive result therein, it match's mine.
I always have kept my first tube amp, a modified Dynaco 70 by Joe Cursio using el 34, this amp as remain so much more naturel sounding than all the tube amps that came my way. It is only when a got myself a Cary single ended monoblock amp using the KR 300 BLXS tube that I finally was able to access more refinement without any lost in the natural aspect so dear to me.
In my book, the musical soundind Lectron ( 84 ? ) based tube amp, fall between those 2 unit in term of refinements.
If you need more power than the one present in your Airtight SE this unit will be a natural, convenient and good looking choise. A better match will lead to better sound
