RE: How to set the bias with a DMM

Many thanks Ralph.

My MA-1 is the 14-tube version with manual bias and 5 6SN7 in the input section. I believe it's the Mk 2.3 Silver version except I omitted the Class A/AB switch.

To the credit of the amp, the DC offset and bias are very stable once set and do not seem to drift much over time either. I've always used a DMM for adjustment with the speakers disconnected. I had not adjusted the amps for over a year and when I decided to check and adjust them I had forgotten the need to set the DMM to DC amp scale for the bias measurement. Thus my question.
