So I buy this Soldano HR 50 and get it home and clean her all up, yeah I'm anal like that. Check the tubes on my tube tester and they seem pretty good. 5881's (EH yuck) and some JJ ecc83s's in the pre and pi sockets. OK whatever not a big fan of them either. Amp is biased really cold which seems common for these. So I bring it up to around 32ma and both tubes are real close in range. Fire it up and it sounds like poop. WTF? The last one I had was pretty snotty and had a good sound. So I plug in my Roccaforte Custom 40 and bam an hour goes by and I realize some amps just make you wanna wank forever and some don't. Back to the Bias and tubes anyone wanna shed some light? Should I go back to like 13ma like it was set at? Plate voltage is around 512. Weird the Rocca straight up hands down smokes it.... Now if I go down and plug into my HG100 I probably won't come out of the man cave till morning. Just saying.
