I've just secured an Audio Note P1 power amp (via this very wigwam) and, having never owned a valve power amp, and not finding much about this particular amp online, was wondering if there's anything I should know about it?
I've read about bias being "a thing", but not sure if it applies to the P1 or if anyone has any tips about setting it?
I presume people only switch them on when they use them (for power usage if nothing else)..? 30-60 mins to warm up?
I'll be using it with a pair of AN-Es, the 98dB hemp-cone ones. Any advice about which taps to use (4-ohm or 8-ohm) with these? Any requirements for speaker cable (eg. low-capacitance)? Will probably end up just using whatever cables I have lying around...
Generally just hoping for folk's experience with this amp, and with valve power amps generally... I'll be using it with an AN M2 pre.
Cheers!
