Bias setting for Quicksilver V four amp see below:

''Recommended bias is 40 ma and maximum bias for each tube type is as follows: EL34 40ma KT77 40ma 6550 50ma KT88 55ma KT150 60ma''

Speaking of Quicksilver, specifically the V4s.  Has anyone tried swapping out the supplies KT-88s with Golden Lion KT-77s?  Buying 8 is not super expensive but I’d like to hear from others that might have tried this.  I’ve been told the KT-77s are a little down on power but make up with it with a much more musical presentation, midrange to die for one dealer told me.  Anyone have any experience they want to share.  I’ve gone the KT-150s but still prefer the KT-88s to those for a more balanced presentation.  Cheers
