Tube amp bias adjustment advice

mmporsche OP
Not sure why my link to pictures disappeared. Here it is again:

I assumed you had 211 monoblocks in my first post, now I see it’s a stereo, but same deal.
Don’t play with the bias yet, just swap left for right speaker leads and interconnects on the amp (this way the recording is still the same orientation) and see if the balance still favors the left.

OK, have your girlfriend sit dead center, and you sit to her right!

The balance control of many otherwise fine preamps and integrated amps have disappeared over the years. It is simply a cost cutting move as there is no reason that a balance control has to compromise SQ. I would not have a preamp without one.

There are many reasons a balance control may be useful as were detailed here.  An additional factor is that some recordings need a balance control to place the soundstage correctly.
