Hi Butsy.....I've been extremely happy with this integrated so far. I got in on Ebay for around $550 and put about $200 into new tubes. I went with a quad of the JJ KT88's, a quad of NOS Amperex 12AU7 orange globe (USA made) and am having the best luck with an old Holland made Amperex 12AX7A with worn orange print...not sure exactly what it is but I like it better than the halo and D getter Bugle Boys I tried. I'm running my Jolida JD100 thru it with a pair of Vandersteen 2CE signatures and for once I can say that I just listen to the music now instead of critiquing my system. I've seen differing references so far as to whether the bias needs to be set manually. Just trying to verify. Thanks for the reply.
