Re: Individual bias pot per tube

I don't think it would alter the sonic character of the output tubes. You could get into some problem if you didn't double the values of the pot and individual resistors that you replaced simply by drawing more power from the bias tap supply, but I don't think that's a problem. Also, now that you can use output tubes that are not perfectly matched you might be adventurous enough to try grossly mismatched output tubes. Big mistake. I think you'll find that worn out tubes, even pricy vintage ones, don't sound that good when they're huffing and puffing in combination with fresher tubes. Certainly, that's going to alter the sonic character of the music.
