PS Audio BHK preamp owners


Hi

This question is aimed at PS Audio BHK preamp owners regarding the tube bias. I understand that the bias is user adjustable by just moving an internal jumper pin (pretty brilliant). The unit ships with 12au7 tubes set at 4 milliamperes. When the jumper pin is moved the bias is increased to 5 milliamperes. I would like to know if anyone has tried this and if so did you like it? Thank you.

I played with this jumper setting on some Amperex 7308 tubes and I liked 4ma better than 5ma.  YMMV.  It's an option to try with the 6922 variants, but I believe you need 5 ma for the 12AU7's.  Pretty good preamp, especially for the $$$!
What was not going well with the Brimar's at 5ma?  Died early?  Noisy quickly?
