RE: There is a difference between "self Biasing" and a robot.




"You still need to measure the operating point when switching tube types. Careful of the high heater draw tubes like the KT120/150 as your amp may not be able to supply the heater current without stressing the power transformer."

Thanks, the manufacturer and distributor say the transformer specs are up to the task.The distributor demos my amp with the KT150. Doubtful I will ever try them. At $100 a bottle, too pricey to use bottles as tone controls. Kinda like cable madness.
The only tube that produced really undesirable tone was the 6V6.
