Default Another cry of help!
I have just turned on my amplifier and everything is dead silent...the valve start to glow and i start to play music...but here is the problem...everything remains dead silent!!!!

Any idea's?

I am aware that it could be pretty much anything...but some pointing in the right direction would be very gratefully recieved by me.

Did you do any voltage checks before you tried to use the amp?

Check for simple things first !

Is everything before the amp plugged in,switched on and connected ?

Then it's get the meter out time and check for continuity and voltages.

Hi Malka07,

I'm no expert (having not built my own amp's) but i'm thinking possible failure of the high voltage supply?

As the valves are glowing the heater circuit is still ok.

No HT no music.
