I think of the bias current in a tube amp as being similar to the fuel required to keep an engine idling. The engine must be running (idling) prior to applying throttle to accelerate (voltage). Maybe over simplified but works for my mechanical engineering brain.
I have a Cary SLI-80 that I must use a meter to set the bias current and it is very easy to do. I wouldn't freet it and it doesn't sound as if you are. Enjoy your new amp it is a beautiful piece to behold.
