Question on biasing an amplifier


When you are about to check the bias on a tubed amp with a hand held digital voltage meter
Should the amp be off before inserting the leads of the meter
or is it safe to insert the leads with the amp on and playing
Thank you

Actually, I don't think taking a reading from off to on would make sense, since it takes a good 15 minutes or so for the bias to stabilize.
