you will probably also need a cheap digital voltmeter - you can get them online - not sure of cost in Canada. Easy to bias the tubes, as the other posters have given great instructions. You can probably get the manual online and download and print it. And call them if you have questions.
can you please help me around how to use my first tube amp?
Hi, I picked up on a whim an older tube amp, first I have ever had that is non automatic biasing and outside of that really no nothing about tube amps
Its a used 10 year old or so Rogue Audio Atlas Magnum power amp with KT 120 power tubes
the pre amp/dac will be RME adi-2 and speakers are Sonus Faber Lumina V's (4ohm)
I was thinking I would also also try it without preamp from a bluesound node
I believe the stock setting is 8ohm on the amp and you need to crack the lid to adjust down to 4
nervous about installing and biasing the tubes
can anybody advise what happens if I run the amp without the tubes being biased correctly?
also, can I run this from the 8ohm default so I dont have to open it up?
finally, how do I know when i need new power tubes and pre tubes?
any other advice will be appreciated
