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

Bias adjustment has been mentioned. Decide whether it is worthwhile for you to be engaged in that task. If you're ambivalent, a lower maintenance amp such as a PrimaLuna may be suitable. I've been happy with my Evo 400, and sleep soundly knowing the bias is taken care of by higher powers. But if you suspect that you'd enjoy the adventure of tinkering, go for it! I also had a positive experience with a Rogue Cronus Magnum, which has a built-in bias meter. Best wishes!
