Lectron JH30

This legendary amplifier bears the signature of the famous Jean Hiraga, created during the “golden age” of tubes

The listening qualities of the LECTRON JH 30 can be summed up first and foremost by an incredible definition in the reproduction of micro-details: your records contain a wealth of details you never knew existed. The JH 30 will make you discover them! It marks the difference between a “boxed sound” and living music. Its analytical capabilities are combined with an absence of harshness, exemplary airiness and dynamics. Listen to a violin, a string quartet, or baroque music with the LECTRON JH 30, and the return to transistor amplifiers, or even conventional tube amplifiers, will be difficult. And this remark also applies to a voice, a guitar or brass instruments. This amplifier, which is equipped with the famous Partridge transformers, behaves in such a dynamic way that its listening impression may suggest an output power 2 to 3 times higher than the measured 30 W per channel. This is the hallmark of a very lightly feedback-controlled circuit, astonishing in terms of soundstage openness, dynamic ease and timbre precision.
