Also, in addition to what Steve said, SOME MM amps came stock with Amperex tubes- I have one. The Amperex tubes were a great sounding warm tube that you could push and it just got better sounding. I do bias mine a little on the cooler side as some MM amps back then had a habit of melting down the power tubes-had one of those too. I posted a request to see what other people were biasing theirs at and Steve is the only one to respond so far. With 700 volts bouncing around in there, a little overboard will smoke one of the very hard to replace transformers if you are not careful. Mike.
