Adjusting tubes for bias and other tube hassles

OK I'm a newbie here and am thinking about jumping into tubes. (Have sent final tuition payemnt to last child's college.) Am concerned about the hassle of such things as "adjusting for bias," etc. that I've read about. Is it anything that a basically non-handy person has to worry about?

I bought a pair of older VTL 300 Deluxe Mono Blocks and didn’t have a clue about biasing. Like you I asked a few questions here, which sent me to VTL’s home page. The instructions were posted there. I had to go to Radio Shack and buy a Digital Multi-Meter, I don’t remember the price but it was cheap. The instructions were easy to follow. It’s kinda like changing wiper blades on a new car. It look complicated but it’s easy.

I do it when I re-tube them and twice a year after that, takes 10 minutes.

Good Luck
