So I just finished up my amp...sadly I have run into some issues which I think boil down to tube incompatibility from what I've been reading.
My TPL was bang on, 41V but my TPR was 35V. Frustrated...I thought I'd rule it out with swapping the tubes. Now I have a TPL of 46V and TPR of 33V. Everything else checks out in the amp, all the amp lines, voltage test points, everything is 100%...
Does that sound about right? My tubes are 5963's on 12.6v by the way. Just wanted to re-cap before buying some more on ebay. :/ was really looking forward to listening to this tonight.
Edit: my TP+ was 108V and 125V without with tubes in, so I wonder if that's also an indication of tube issues...
