Antique Hurricane Bias


Ive noticed that some posts mention that sometimes the bias drifts on the new huricanes.
I have a pair of the DT hurricanes that are Rock stable on bias settings you pry need to break in the tubes from new for them to settle down. Also the way that the bias is set on these is very nice. I suggest anyone looking at thes to not nesitate and purchase.

Altec-Lansing 1570Bs...my my. Been a long time since I've seen them mentioned. Had a pair years ago, to drive some electrostatics. They sounded pretty good but they were WAY too complicated, with their transformer-coupled circuitry and something-like-1200vdc powersupply rail.

Does the 1570 use a pentode* somewhere in the voltage-gain circuitry?

*--I recall in the '80s a Tim deParavacini/EAR preamp that used 6 triode sections in parallel to decrease fono-stage noise but then a PENTODE following that.
