Testing tubes

[FrankD77]

I have a bias adjust tool on its way.
4 sensors you place under the tubes.
I have a few amps i have my doubt about the tubes.

Is the bias adjust tool also able to test the tubes via the read out? Or is that a wrong conclusion.

A separate tester is very expensive.

No, a tube tester is needed and they are not all made equal. Unless you are a collector or vendor, a good tube tester is not going to be worth it.

Seeing the prices i agree. Can buy loads of tubes for that

The bias i want to be able to do myself so the bias tool was worth it

Yes, it is definitely a big plus to be able to set the bias yourself. As far as testing tubes, having good ones to swap in is usually the quickest and cheapest for most of us, plus it's good to have spares anyway.
