i'm sure you already have, but check the fuses on your amp. you probably have a bad 6550 as mentioned which caused your fuses to blow. good luck.
Help troubleshooting amp
Hi,
When I turned the system on this morning in anticipation of a long holdiay of music there was no signal in my right channel. I first checked all connections which were fine and then I subbed in a pair of replacement tubes for the right side of my preamp, still only on channel. I then switched my attention to my amp, I switched both pairs of 6550's from left to right. Now no signal in either channel! This leads me to beleive that the trouble rests with the amp. I'm going to try switching 6550's back again but one at a time to see if I at least get the left channel back. Regardless I'm pretty sure it's a tube issue but if anyone else has any ideas I'm listening. Why do these things only happen on weekends and holidays?
