RECOMMENDED BIAS RANGE IS 25-35 FOR EL34, 6L6 & 7591A
POWER TUBES.
When do you need to check/adjust bias?
Your Tubewonder was properly adjusted at time of final test with nominal
mains voltage and should not need any adjustments. It has also been
checked by your dealer who installed the tubes upon delivery. The amp was
delivered with the tubes that were used during final test and burn-in.
We recommend checking/adjusting bias after ca 200hrs of use or when
replacing the power tubes.
You will need to readjust the bias when changing to/from Tube Rectifier
from/to Silicon (using supplied jumper plug) It is recommended to set bias
in the lower range when using Silicon Rectifier.
