I'm in the market for an easy to use bias meter with the plug-N-Play tube sockets.
What is your go to model ?

I'm looking at the socket with test leads that I can plug into my multi meter since I have a meter already.

I ordered one from bias pro.

Single socket that has leads for a multi meter, one use and I break even over the cost of the unit (as long as it works O.K.)

Should get me in the ball park when an amp comes in from whatever auction, garage sale, craigs list etc.....

Now the search begins for a sweet quad of 6L6's to get some more Tone out of that twin !!!, not that it needs much more, sounds great with the china made junk tubes, can't wait to here some good uns in it.

Simple solution. I recently bought a bias probe along with a full retube set from Eurotubes. The probe cost $25 - good value. I plugged it right into the multimeter I already had. It worked great.
