Is bias a function of a tube or amplifier ? For example, if I bias a tube and change its location, switch with another tube, would it keep its bias ?

Mastersound evolution 845 vs. Jadis da88s vs auris forte 150
What did you end up getting? I got the Mastersound 845 Evo and I love it. Though it doesn't push my hard to drive speakers the way SS does   
Speakers for Atma Sphere M60 mk3
I have Elipsa SE paired with SET 845 tubes. Documented 55W per channel. My amp Mastersound Evolution 845 drives Elipsa to concert hall levels without breaking a sweat. Solo instruments e.g Piano and Cello sounds better than Live! You can’t beat r...

bi-amping with Tube and SS amp
Please explain why this would not work?  If you keep the jumper and connect both amps the speaker will sense the signal from either top or bottom binding post. If OP turns off his SS amp, his speaker will only get signal from the amp that is activ...

What is a lamp amplifier? Your question doesn’t make much sense. Can you elaborate   
Krell K-300i vs. other integrated amps under 10k
@yyzsantabarbara  How long did you keep your Krell K300i?  Have you ever heard the classic krell Class A sound?  I find it hard to believe their claim of 90W in pure class A without heat. I thought the whole point of class A is inefficiency whi... 
How to make small room sound bigger
@clearthinker  Excellent point. The objective is to improve SQ AND avoid near field listening. I enjoy classical music, large scale symphonic works and such. I would like to feel the scale as much as possible to simulate a concert hall. While I k...
