| How to bias a tube amp with a Multimeter @larryi @freediver thanks for your suggestions. I will try adjusting the MM, and the screws on the amplifier tomorrow to see if I can get a reading. Thanks for your assistance! | |
| How to bias a tube amp with a Multimeter @larryi okay, so how do I set the multi meter to display Milliamps? No, I didn’t turn what appears to be the small screws. Are you suggesting to turn the screws while hoping the MM on them at the same time? If that’s the case, what of the larger o... | |
| Spectron Audio Out Of Business? Hi Folks! After speaking with an audiophile who owns a Mk2 stereo Spectron, who’s also a technician, he gave me a rundown on Mr Manh. He’d been in touch with him and he informed me that Manh had gone to work with the military. This technician... | |
| How to bias a tube amp with a Multimeter @freediver excellent points all around. I requested a later tech I contacted that I’d need to be instructed how to bias the amp from the bias points. He accepted that. Since I don’t have a manual, and haven’t found a pdf on the internet I’m ki... | |
| How to bias a tube amp with a Multimeter Yes, probes are properly connected. I was just quoted $130 to bias the amplifier. But I’d have to wait 4 weeks to have it done because of other jobs ahead of me! Argh. | |
| How to bias a tube amp with a Multimeter @freediver yes I’ve tried turning each pot, and still no reading on the MM. I’m afraid I have to take it to a technician, which means a 45 minute drive each way. Oh well! | |
| How to bias a tube amp with a Multimeter @larryi yes, and the bias points are so close I can barely get the tips of the MM onto them! I don’t know what to make of the screws, I tried searching for a manual for the amp with no success. yes, speakers are connected, and the amp is fully o... | |
| How to bias a tube amp with a Multimeter The amp is fully operational. It works just fine. However I’ve not been able to get the MM to function. Yes, it appears to be operating fine in the above ^ example. But it’s not registering any readings when placed at the bias points. | |

| Can anyone tell me when XLR connections were first used on stereo equipment. (what years)? @atmasphere Steve is a truly nice guy! He and I had many conversations, and all the while I was thinking, don’t you have more important things to be doing than talking to me? Nope, Steve always took time to speak to people, and for many years he w... | |

| Reliability - what’s your experience been? In 40 plus years I only had one item fail. It was a used Plinius SA250 power amp. The dealer who sold it called Plinius. Even though the amp was long out of warranty, Plinius had it serviced and repaired locally. I eventually sold the amp for twic... | |
| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? Say nothing. This is not a contest akin to “my bike is better than your bike.” We’re grown ups now. Be happy with your bike. That’s all that matters. | |
| Open baffle speakers ^ Can’t wait to see these OB’s. People who are against OB’s haven’t heard all OB’s. Their designs are endless. |
