Question on tube types. Wing C SED EL34 to replace stock tubes

Thanks again all I appreciate the feedback/help. I'll definitely get it biased when I can, who knows maybe a tech can get it hotter and make it sound even better.

As others have tried to point out, bias is not chiefly about sound, it’s about getting all the components (particularly the tubes) to function at the correct operating levels and not do damage to the tubes and other components of the amp. If you run that amp with the tubes biased incorrectly, at minimum you are shortening the life of the tubes and possibly doing damage to the amp that is expensive to repair. It’s already running an amp hard when you’re using a power soak between the output and the speakers. You can do what you want, but if it were mine, I wouldn’t power it on again until getting it biased, and I certainly wouldn’t run it hot into a power soak.
