This has turned from one of the most interesting threads on Head-Fi into the most boring...... *yawn*
It's actually a little bit on the warm side but mostly just supremely neutral. I bloody well hoped it would be given how much it costs...
You need a screwdriver with a really small flat-head (like a jeweler's screwdriver) to adjust the trimpots and a multimeter to follow the below instructions, which I originally copied down from instructions given by spritzer on another forum. The trimpots are located right by the tube base rings - there are 4 of them. Face down directly at the top of the amp and you can't miss them - they're gold in color and are slotted on the top. You may also need bright direct lighting to spot them.
Stax Pro-bias socket diagram:
Also important: make sure to note which tube socket you use for each of the 4 tubes! If you accidentally change sockets on a tube, you may need to re-bias the amp.
Justin (HeadAmp) should have noted the tube sockets for the stock EL34s for example - in my case they were written on each tube's box.
Hi,
Have anyone tried the EL34 GE/Sylvania Fatboys with BHSE + 009?
Regards,

Ps. Today's it's been an year ... hope it's close now...
Loan me your 009s and I'll let you know. Seriously, the Fatboys sound very transparent to me, but don't seem to put much flesh on individual images. Also, they seem a bit weak on the bottom. But scads of detail almost to the point of being distracting. This was with a Wadia 781i as a source, balanced into the BHSE.

Beefy, any recommendations for boring tubes?
Tube talk, another way to while away the day, yawn...
Yeah, I miss all of the whining.
Justin has been pretty effective with the damage control, keeping them informed.
After I wrote that I thought you might think I was talking of you, but I wasn't.
