ARC Ref 210...tube virgin


I'm potentially going to purchase these monos which will be my first tube component. 
It has new Sovtek tubes; are these ok & a good match for the amps?
Is there a superior tube for these monos? 
What exactly is happening with biasing? 

Thanks.

My experience is "beware"!  Study and search the forums. 

It may not be for you.

A tube will suddenly fail as some time, and at a minimum a resistor will burn up, or worst case the amp will go up in flames!

This will ether cause great angst, or you will realize this as normal, and be welcome to the world of tube power amps!
