I have the SLi80 and recently found that increasing the bias to 90mA resulted in a significant change for the better (for my taste at least) in triode mode. The upper mid and higher frequencies are more crisp and precise with improved firmness across all frequencies. In ultra linear mode, though, the sound became “glassy” and uncomfortable.
Q Bias for Cary SLI-80
Cary co. says that proper bias for Cary SLI-80 is about 75mA.
But the allowed range of bias is from 75mA to 100mA.
Which one is the best from your experience?
I would share our information.
And, I heard that I can use EL34 or 6L6 outpu tubes instead of KT88/6550 and when using other output tubes, it should be same bias.
Is it right? If anybody knows it, please share it.
