    Haven’t heard this kind of sound since listening to my grandfather’s stereo trying to drive his Altec-Lansing duplex 604c’s.

    It *is* impressive but not enough control / way too much bloom. Seems the transistors are severely under biased on mine: 85mV on the test points instead of 850mV. Dunno why.

    Maybe whoever set it got confused with the DC balance, which is 80mV

    Welcome to the club. I recommend to try it with headphones too (carefully...)

    Yes, sounds delightful with headphones, even at low bias.
