Purposely withholding the name and model of the amp will not get you any meaningful info.
Did I blow my tube amp?
So here's the story: I recently received my tube amp and replaced the power tubes. So naturally, I wanted to bias them to make sure they work properly. I've never done any biasing before and checked some youtube videos on biasing. One of the youtube video had a Manley Stingray connected to power, no input signal, and NO speakers connected. 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? Simply by not connecting the speakers while biasing or just having the amp on for a short while? From what I have read, it should be ok to have no speakers connected as long as there's no input signal.
I had another tube amp before this, and turned it on one time without speakers connected and it worked flawlessly after.
Could you guys shed some knowledge or personal experience on this topic?
