Hi, gang. This is my first visit to this site, so please be gentle. I have long had a Lectron JH50 tube amp, but when I moved recently I lost the diagram and instructions on how to set the tube bias. Does anyone have a copy of the tube bias instructions (hopefully in English!) that they can forward to me so I can set the bias without having to take the thing to a repair shop? Thanks so much!----Starsailor

No, I haven't had any reply but yours. A bit disappointing, even though I know this amp has not been very widely distributed in my country (the US.) I have had to guess at the the tube bias, but it STILL sounds wonderful....and that's the real goal, isn't it......? -----Starsailor

I sure wish that I did. You see, I wrote the English manual for the JH-50.
But my copy has long since vanished.
I was hoping to find a schematic of the JH-50 somewhere when I stumbled across this thread. Anyone seen a copy? Would it be in the Revue de l'Audiophile? Maybe #41?
The $65 for the Davidenko CDs are worth it, considering the many Francs transferred to France for the paper versions. I found the foreign annual subscriptions pretty expensive.
The EL34s in the JH-50 are biased at 25mA.
Either just with a DMM or sweeped with a tone generator and a scope, as preferred by the French-Japanese gent.
