Did I blow my tube amp?

One of the youtube video had a Manley Stingray connected to power, no input signal, and NO speakers connected.

Not sure why the guy did that......
Manual does not say to do it that way.

I did the same. After the biasing is done, I connected the speakers and input signal, but for some reason so sound came out.

So the question is: did I blow my output transformer?

I don't think so.... Not from just biasing.

But.....
Reading from the manual,

Connecting your Stingray.
(1) "You MUST have speakers or (load box) properly connected to the speaker terminals before power is turned on ........."

Reading the manual it says to make sure when connecting the speaker wires to the amp to make sure the ends of the wires do not come in contact with the case of the output transformers.... (Dumb way to build something)
So make sure the speaker wires are not contacting the output transformers.

Double check the input jacks. Make sure interconnects are seated properly.

Post back your results.

You didn't post the model year.....

Did you check the B+ fuse?

When I changed the power tubes in my older VTL/Manley designed tube amps, I had the whole system connected and I changed one tube at a time, turning the amp off each time I replaced a tube and turning the amp on to bias the new tube. I also made sure after changing each tube that the other tubes were biased correctly, as changing one affected the bias on the others.

I am no expert in the matter but my Cary amps are biased with all connections removed as recommended by the manufacturer. Best would be to check with manuf. Or trouble shoot with the user manual.

It is my understanding that you never under any circumstances
power up a tube amp without connecting to your loud speakers.
Yes there is a very good chance you have damaged your amp.

Thanks guys for the inputs so far. I must add that the amp I have is not a Manley, I'm just following the steps in the youtube video, which had a Manley Stingray in it (I think it was EveAnna Manley from Manley Labs that did the biasing).

I know that some manufacturers recommend having speakers connected at all times before turning on an amp, but I also know that for Cary amps it don't matter. In my case though, the owner before me had it on once without speakers connected, and it was fine after he passed it on to me.

I checked all connections several times, even swapped in a solid state amp and music played normally at the speakers. I even had experience turning on a Yaqin tube amp before without speakers connected and it was fine after. In my case, there was no input signal connected at the time of the biasing, so there should be no load and the output transformer should be at idle.

The amp still turns on and all tubes lit normally, just no output at the speakers. The tubes usually get really hot when playing, but they seem to be just idling without getting hot. Would a dead fuse cause this?
