I have tried this and my experience is that you don't really gain anything beyond
increased noise and shortening the life of the tubes. Audio amps are not guitar
amps, where such an increase in the bias can provide nice distortion. My sense
is that the manufacturer knows best what the optimal operating parameters are
for their products. Stick to the bias recommended by the manufacturer.
