    5. Technical Notes (for professional user only) Carot One has already pre-set the jumpers and fine-tuned the DC bias voltage of each ERNESTOLO 50K with the packaged vacuum tube before shipping. However, changing different tubes to taste for different sound is the great fun for many audiophiles and also a great feature of ERNESTOLO 50K.
  • Page 13: Dc Bias Voltage Tuning

    5.1 DC Bias Voltage Tuning Since each tube might derivate a bit in parameters, especially from different series, it needs to re-tune the DC bias voltages to guarantee the machine is working in the best point and performing the best sound quality. There are two blue precise adjustable potentiometers (RP1, RP2) for tuning the DC bias voltage of each channel.
