Thank for the advice guys.
"Pull all tubes and turn it on. If that works, it could be a shorted tube-most likely an output tube"
Wouldn't it be better to just pull the tubes, and have them checked out on a tube tester? At least that way, I would know which tube was the "shorted" tube.
"1)Are the new fuses from Radio Shack, by any chance? If so, try some better quality fuses.
2)Are the connections to your speakers intact? If not (if one of the connections has been inadvertently dislodged) that could account for the problem, due to what is called "inductive kickback" from the output transformer, which occurs when a tube amp is operated unloaded."
As a matter of fact, yes, as it's the only place locally that I can find the 6.3 Fast Blo fuses. Also, the last fuse was a Radio Shack fuse and it lasted well over a year.
Btw, one of the first things I checked was all the connections, and they were all tight.
"blown DC capacitor --> blown grid resistor"
Think I'll check the tubes first, and if the problem still exist then I guess I'll being make a trip up to Annapolis to let the Jolida techs "under the hood".
