Is a cathode biased amp self biasing ?
I was told that even is an amp is cathode biased it still need so have a bias adjustment and needs to be biased for each set of tubes just like a non cathode biased amp. I have also read that they are self biasing and don't need to be biased.  
 
Can someone please tell me which is correct? Sorry for the dumb question, but i am (obviously) not a tech.
