Cary Rocket 88R bias setting with EL34 tubes?

Thank you both for your responses.
Yes Newbee you're correct the Rocket 88R has one bias pot for the four output tubes.
I'll take your advise & email Cary directly, & post their recommendation for others who may have the same question.

Many thanks.

Interested in what you learn, Halo. I just bought this amp, pls post your findings.

Hi All,
This very quick response from Gerald @ Cary Audio Design.

John,

You may also bias EL34's to 200mA's DC for the CAD 808( Rocket 88). Cheers!!!

I own a Cary Rocket 88R, so for the record and other owners, does the 200mA apply to the KT90, KT77, KT66 and the EL-34. Secondly, from a discussion with Cary support staff (who were superb...) my understanding was the EL-34 should be set at 160mA. Is this different spec due to the fact that there is always a range, as the Rocket 88 KT-88 bias setting is a range of 195-225mA. And according to the manual "feel free to experiment".

On tube selection, the discussion seems endless. But from what I've gathered, there does seem to be a tendency for specific tubes to be symbiotic with specific amplifiers. If you own a Rocket 88 or 88R, I would love to hear what tube brand and tube types have been a happy marriage. Cheers and don't forget - "...this is heaven".
