I own a Cary Rocket 88R, so for the record and other owners, does the 200mA apply to the KT90, KT77, KT66 and the EL-34. Secondly, from a discussion with Cary support staff (who were superb...) my understanding was the EL-34 should be set at 160mA. Is this different spec due to the fact that there is always a range, as the Rocket 88 KT-88 bias setting is a range of 195-225mA. And according to the manual "feel free to experiment".
On tube selection, the discussion seems endless. But from what I've gathered, there does seem to be a tendency for specific tubes to be symbiotic with specific amplifiers. If you own a Rocket 88 or 88R, I would love to hear what tube brand and tube types have been a happy marriage. Cheers and don't forget - "...this is heaven".
