Music Angel XD-800 MK111

[Tarzan]

Just brought one of these amps for a decent price secondhand- it sounds good, however it came with no schematic, manual etc, a little browsing around the Internet, has proved a little confusing so can anybody help a valve newbie out? Is this amp auto-bias? There is nothing on the amp to indicate this, also on the rear of the amp is a pentode/ triode switch with no indication of what mode it is in,thanks for any input chaps:)

Re: Pentode / Triode - see which one goes louder - that'll be pentode. :)

Listened to it a lot more Jerry and to be honest there is not much in it, but l think l have it now- l think,any one know if auto- bias?:)

Music Angel amps can sound very good - but with these Chinese power amps or integrateds you do have to watch the line voltage - many are designed for 220V and in the long term don't take kindly to the 240-250V they often find up 'em from the UK's mains supply! Transformers have been known to catch fire. :eek:
