Universal PCB for Purifi 1ET400A amps

Thanks for your answer, just read your other thread on this tubes buffer, so I will try to increase r21 from 22k to ... To see if it something changes .. Strange to have 3 seconds when you get 20 with the same values ...
For the rest, smps for tube set t 6.3/260v, same as yours tubes get hot , les on and really clicking after 3 seconds, but absolutely zero sound on both channels... Working perfectly with you mono buffer ... I don't understand 😭😭😭
 
Thank you for your answer .
Yes I cutted the 3 pins 👍
Actually I think I found the problem, relays are not energized. I thought they were very silent, but after testing them manually , they audibly work and click, which does not happened on the board . Same on both boards so same problem. Diode is on the good sense I think ...

Thank you for your help

So, I simulated the relay schematic on a test board, with r21 22k and 10k, the relay never activate... Relay and bc547 are tested ok. The problem comes from here , but I don't understand why...
Any help appreciated .

Regards, Emmanuel

Well, after some times spent on the tube buffer I still don't understand why both are not giving sound.. All connections check, v+ vdr etc OK, everything turning on, relay on checked and set to 20-25sec (470uF 33k 1k), bot purifi 7040 working well on mono buffer tube ...
Any idea would be very appreciated 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for your answer !
Actually the tubes are new, heating well, but you're right, to me that's the only one solution of this problem! Actually I noticed the 260/63volts smps is providing 275 when loaded (I set it 260/6.3v no load).
Is there a way to bypass the tubes just to check the board ? I looked by myself into all the datsheets but I'm not sure ...
I will text you my private message to not contaminate too much this thread ! At least after lots of test and try I could determinate the best option for timing relay cap and Rs which I published before 😅
