Does anyone have any experience biasing their Milkman Mini? I’ve been looking for instructional info or vids and no luck yet. Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Dennis

I have a MM mini that I've biased a number of times. It's really easy if you have a bias meter. I've set my power tubes to between 28 and 30 and it sounds good to me.

Hi Paul
I’ve come off biasing Allen amps that have 2 points on the back of the chassis specifically for the bias meter test leads. With the Milkman where do you place your leads on the chassis?
Thanks

I don't use leads. My bias kit has ceramic tube sockets that you plug the power tubes into, and then put that combo into each tube socket. That's all there is to it.

I use a Tube Amp Doctor BiasMaster kit. It works well for me.
