I successfully adjusted the bias today. I was very nervous doing it for the first time, ever...

The volt meter I got is a piece of cake to use. I also got an extra set of leads with clips on them (because of how you have to bias these classic little ARC amps).

ARC's manual states to let the amp settle for 15 minutes before checking. I gave it about 25 minutes. Both channels were reading at about 66.7. The adjustment pod is very sensitive. I set each as close to 65 that I could get without going over. I think one was 64.8 and the other channel was 64.9.

All hooked back in the system and playing fine!

Excellent! Enjoy your newly biased amp.

Proud of you Randy for completing this mission successfully, I know you were a bit anxious about it. Bias pots (short for potentiometer) are typically kind of touchy to adjust precisely, but it sounds like you got it about as close as you could expect to. Nice work!

Thank you sir. Yea, always a bit apprehensive until I have done something for myself. I like to gather all the information on something to make sure I understand it before moving forward ... lots of great help here, for sure!
