Hi Guys
It is dumbfounding how many "amp builders" believe you cannot test an amp without tubes !
If you mention it to them and they come back with "You can't run the amp without tubes", it puts into question if they really know how amps work - including their own products.
As posted above, TESTING WITHOUT TUBES is the mandatory first step in assessing a build with unknown status(broken, needing a repair), a new build, a modified build and a repaired build.
When we say to test without tubes, we mean without power tubes, except where the unit is only a preamp in which case literally test without ANY tubes.
