Reactions to HP's review of Antique Sound Lab amp?

Go look at http://www.high-endaudio.com/index_ac.html and look under the recommended amplifiers and you will see another view on these amps. Seems like even if Harry might have got a wee bit excited on this one, he has some justification.

Judesonic....Good show...ENJOY! I am waiting for mine....
Did you have a difficult time in biasing them?

I read the article and it seemed that it was somewhat tricky to bias and set up. Any comments on this?

Bias takes a little time as the 16 (8 per side) set screws are somewhat sensitive to slight movement to reach 485. Front meter makes it relatively easy to reach 485 RANGE. 10 minutes tops unless you are completely anal- then occasionally bias until unit breaks in and bias settles.

One comment in passing from that review was that the generic Chinese KT88 s were more than ok and swapping them out was unnecessary. My ASL MGSI 15DT uses these-- first thing I did when I got the amp was buy new JJ/Tesla KT88s, Tomorrow I'll put the Chinese tubes back in and see what they sound like, BTW just put in Kimber Hero I/C with this amp and what a difference!
