Hi Lmarkr.....
I have an original pair (HP version??) but I believe the biasing is the same. Anyway, I've been told that you try to get the tubes biased at around 485 (as close as possible). Once this is done you will, if the amps are new 3-6 months old need to check the basis once a week. After that the tubes should stay "around" that number (480-488). Anyway, I don't get that concerned about the "exact" number (485) and try to get as close a s possible and then just sit back and enjoy the music.
The best of luck!
