Just sharing,

I tried your the link you had provided on hifiengine for helpful info on the Harman Kardon A50K amplifier. However, when I tried the link, I received a "forbidden" massage and could connect with the server. Do you have an electronic file of the information you acquired from this site? If so, would you be willing to share it with me. I recently picked up an A50K and was able to find schematic for A500 which appear to be identical to the A50K, however, I am looking for a users manual that describes the component inputs and would like an overall understanding of the controls.

There is one of HK's favorite model missing. It is in the "Award Series" as A 500 but smaller. The Harman Kardon A 300 is still being seeked by enthusiasts and when any one of the well preserved unit shows up at eBay auction it will receive active bidding by not less than ten bidders at a time. Member who has access to this model schematic is invited to upload such diagram for common usage. I would like to express my thanks hereby.
