If your tube amp has software, voltage monitoring, and anyting other than bias adjustment, then I recommend you get another tube amp. Or go SS, you're already there.

Tube amplifiers - software recalibration?
Do tube amplifiers need calibration adjustments periodically? Absent being properly calibrated can this cause amps to be shut down due to existing voltage monitoring controls designed to protect the tubes?
What types of controls exist to protect tube circuitry and tubes? I've heard McIntosh has power guard features, but I thought this extended to protect the speakers. Is this a good thing or does it impairs sonic quality?
