luckily for me, I had a tube obviously go bad.
I noticed the top was white when I was biasing the amps. The when I flipped the dip switch, no reading on the meter.
The other thing I noticed is when I think I'm getting something a bit "weird", I may be in need of biasing.
The hard part is when you get a tube going bad on the preAmp!
I had that happen too, That came across as popping on startup and a hiss when adjusting the volume.

Rogue Monoblock 150's FYI. You're right about the heat, luckiliy we didn't have much of a Summer here, so the AC wasn't needed as much, but I don't have to turn the living room heat up in the winter!
