+2 for the Music Reference RM10 MkII. I've enjoyed one as my primary amp since 2011 w/no issues - in fact never shorted or even worn out a tube (knock wood). I swapped tubes a couple times to hear if they were wearing out and had them tested. Biasing is easy, rock steady and never needs adjusting. The newer 25 watt version is self-biasing. I owned 5 tube amps prior and this is my keeper. Take the plunge!
Tube amp forethought
Hello, im researching my retirement two ch audio system and tube amps are in the forefront of my “wants” my plan will be a pair of QUAD ESL’s not sure which just yet
What do i need to know about maintaining a tube amp, like a AudioResearch 120 for starters or other tube amps. Biasing is totally new to me. Tube life and modes (triode, Pentode, UltraLinear) all foreign to me.
im a 40 year hobbiest so im pretty versed, this is just an unknown territory for me, thanx guys !
