R.G.	Re: Bias King Question My first one was a bit of PVC tubing with a plug on bottom and socket on top, very similar. The only problem with these is that they add height to the tube, so you can't check bias with the chassis in place on some amps. Others are fine. A moderately interesting thing to do is to stand the socket off the plug with 8 one ohm resistors, so it's completely universal. Makes the safety issue worse, of course.
