Golden Tube amps


These look interesting to me and have some good prices. Anyone have some opinions on these? Reliability? Sound quality such as sound staging, detail and of course realism. I have never owned tube, so don't know the problems that come with tubes in general.

I picked up a modified SE-40 a few months ago and have been really happy. Sounds so good I'm on the prowl for another to run as a pair. The power is barely enough to run my NHT superpowersuckers but the addition of a second should cure that. I shouldn't comment on reliability as it's only been a few months but from what I gather the mods cure any issues.

My question is this: How the heck do I bias the tubes? I'm new to this, what tools do I need? I'm very handy and electronically inclined, is it absurd to do it myself? I'd rather not fork over my hard earned cash for something I can do myself.
