I also Built the KT88 Blueglow amplifier...
under no load the B+ is going to be off the charts...
its not important till the amplifier is under load...
using the 5AR4 rec tube the B+ across the main filter cap under load
should be right around 460V DC..

you should avoid running the B+ with no load... it will
be to high for the power supply cap.. 100-100 500V

if you need any help just message me.. ALSO.. it s a awesome amplifier !.

Dan..
