Reactions to HP's review of Antique Sound Lab amp?

I have just received my ASL Hurricane monos and they are an unbelievable combination with the Pipedreams speakers I am using. The ASL's replace a much more expensive amplifier.

Bias takes a little time as the 16 (8 per side) set screws are somewhat sensitive to slight movement to reach 485. Front meter makes it relatively easy to reach 485 RANGE. 10 minutes tops unless you are completely anal- then occasionally bias until unit breaks in and bias settles.

Correct- The 8 set screws are on the side. Round knob is used to rotor through the digital meter readout for each of the 8 tubes.Enjoy it. A great amp.

In case I was not clear the round knob is turned as you bias each KT88 with the 8 set screws so as to allow the digital readout for each individual tube.

RWD all I can say is I do not think you will be disappointed. I have tried many other far more expensive highly regarded SS and Tubed designs , including OTL's, SET's and I find the ASL's superior. Could be my 50 year old ears, except that the ASL shines in the areas where other amps failed by commission, in other words- where other amps failed the ASL's sail through rough sonic seas.They seem far more powerful than their rating . Faults previously attributed to recordings disappear or are ameliorated to an extent that I no longer have the anticipation of a particularly difficult passage that will test my system and force me to shut down my ears or reduce the listening level in the imminent face of the unpleasantness caused by too stern a test.Coherent, great soundstaging, powerful and detailed among other attributes.
