RE: Quicksilver V4 and ET LFT8b

The KT120's arrived Saturday. When I inserted them (Quicksilver V4's) in place of the JJ KT88's I was alarmed when the bias check read near 100ma on every KT120! Kevin Deal had mentioned this on his website. He says to lower the bias on the old tubes because over the course of their life the bias has been raised and will be too much for the new tubes. I caught this only after 10 minutes so I don't think any harm was done. I then biased the KT120 to 40ma.
So far the sound is excellent but need much more time for break in and evaluation. Initial impressions are deep soundstage, good bass control, and more of everything as most have observed on the KT120's.
