Tube amps - what 3 things…
Hello all,
I am close to purchasing a tube amp moving away from SS. So far I have listened to a pure sound, PL, and allnic.
Question for all you experienced owners - if you could do it all over again, what 3 things/features would you look for in an amplifier and what 3 things/features would you not invest in again?
thanks
@jjss49 My answer is useful, he just has to design the rest of his system around a DHT SET. :-)

I see recommendations for autobias. I much prefer manual bias. I Like to be able to calculate my preferred bias and adjust it. For example sometimes i run tubes that have a max voltage near my b+, so I'll lower the current a bit and run at a slightly lower plate dissipation power. Additionally manual bias will tell you if one is biasing much differently than the others, meaning a degraded tube. If all this seems like work to you, then go with auto bias. Jerry |
