Biasing Six Pac help
Thanks for all the helpful posts. I'll call Cary to ask whether it matters if inputs and speakers are connected or not. 
Biasing Six Pac help
Thanks, I already downloaded the manual, but strangely, it does not include biasing instructions. 
Integrated Amp - Looking to replace my amp & pre
If you don't need a remote, don't mind the heat of 8 KT 88s, and also want a gorgeous piece of design that puts out 60 WPC Pure Class A glorious, textured music, auto-bias, then buy the Jadis DA 88S currently on sale on A'gon. (No, I'm not selling...

Number of tubes in Pure Class A amps
That answered all my questions. That's why I love Audiogon. Instant experts on tap. Thanks, Allen!So Ayon may indeed be accurate in saying that it is Pure Class A, both in Triode and Pentode? But the 4 tubes only seems a stretch?

Furthermore, does Triode mode mean Class A by definition, and, conversely, does Pentode mode mean AB? Is Ultralinear the same as Pentode? (eg Manley Stingray and TAD 1000 have Ultralinear/Triode modes. 
Tyler Decade D1s
i just set my D1's up, but have to make some early comments: (1) The fit and finish and cabinetry and overall aesthetics and standard of workmanship is superb (2) Dealing with Ty was a revelation: not only did the speakers arrive earlier than prom... 
coincident speakers do you have troubadors

Looking for anyone having experience with PNF IC's
Both the Morrow SP3s and PNF are highly impressive. Can't choose between them yet, but certainly the PNFs sound very promising after only a few dozen hours. Smooth highs and very tight bass. Waiting for the midrange to open up. Will keep you posted.

I have owned 2 Jadis int amps and have heard many others. The Jadis has a uniquely musical, captivating quality that I have not heard in others. There is currently a DA-60 for $5K for sale, owned by Trelja, who must be one of the best A'goners eve... 
Floorstanders designed to be against the wall?
Gsm 18439, this is exactly my point. I have been told on numerous occasions by dealers and mnufacturers that speaker x and y work just fine against the front wall - but they never do - imaging suffers - so my question is which speakers are specifi...
