When I talked to the people at Jolida about the 120s a while back (almost 2 years), they hadn't tried them, but assured me 120s wouldn't melt the amp. That, plus the good reviews, made me try them. I also liked the 6550s that came stock, and a set of Sovtek kt88s I bought (cheap), so I have all those for backup or whimsy. Psvane 120s do look cool, but since I've seen 150s for about 300 bucks (Ebay) and I assume they also won't melt the amp, maybe I'll try those when my 120s finally croak. Maybe we can start a tube exchange club...loan me some 150s...somebody...
Bias for Jolida 502 P Amplifier
Just got my new Jolida 502 P yesterday and I'm enjoying it a lot - great sound! (Thanks Wolf and Jedinite for your posts re the Jolida amps) I'm surprised at the amount of bass and slam I'm getting with my Magneplanar 1.7's In fact I'm thinking that for a lot of music I probably won't even turn on my HSU sub.
On setting the bias - how important are small variations? When I got the amp I checked with my multimeter and the amp was set at about 560 mv for all tubes. Moved the bias back to 500 mv per the manual but I'm not sure if it really matters all that much for these small changes? How critical is this?
