Default Started work on my stereo 7027a PSE amp

Took the schematic from a well known PSE807 amp, and swapped to 7027a's vs the 807's, though later I will test the 807's in it.

Got the transformer installed today, NOS Tektronix Unit, out of a Massive 4 module Oscilloscope, Overkill for 2 PSE 7027a mono blocks, But I really dig the end bell!

Had to show off the NOS clear top, side getter 12au7a


Forgive the atrocious image quality (or lack there of) it's the best my blackberry can muster.

Strange, cant get music to play, and when the tubes running on B+, my bias voltage drops to -5v, vs the -15.4 I set when the B+ is off.

Figured out the bias issue, bad resistor!


Got nearly all the hum out of the system, but now I have a problem with the sound coming out with no high frequency tones, it sounds slightly distorted, and kinda muddy, Suggestions?

Set bias to -30v, clarity returned, and now it runs great! I omitted R6, swapped the potentiometer value to 50k.
