I guess I'll repost what I have done again since my last post is mia

I've have no sound
v1 pin1=193 pin3=1.8 pin6=202 pin8=1.7
v2 pin1=200 pin3=1.9 pin6=207 pin8=1.8
v3 pin1=301 pin3=60  pin6=301 pin8=60
v4 pin3=463 pin4=461 pin5=54 pin6=463 pin8=.039
v5 pin3=463 pin4=462 pin5=54 pin6=463 pin8=.027

I have sound when I plug into power amp in
I have sound when checking volts on v3
I've checked and double checked input wiring and solder joint
all wiring is correct on v1,2 and 3
all solder joints on v1,2 and 3 are nice and shiny
I.ve swapped v1,2 and 3 with 6 different 12ax7 tubes
I have no sound at all even with overdrive section cranked
I've tried to upload pics but everytime I do the thread becomes unreadable
So what would the next step be?
I was asked to check ground on 05 cap on the - side but the cap does not have + or - signs on it. That was one of the pics I was trying to upload
I get a reading from both sides of the cap but I don't see where it would be grounded
thanks for any help

Yes those pesky input connectors are a bit fiddly - I would double check them.

Or try a line level source into FX return socket.

Thanks for the replies guys

I have no noise level at all even with volumes cranked and od engaged there is nothing
I do get a audible click or pop when I flick the standby switch on
I will try and hook up a jack to pin 2 and see if that works

Don't talk to me about relays 

Hi Tim,

This is not an HRM right? I know the amp is a bit different than the HRM, but I did a video including the problems I had. It might not actually tell you what your problem is, but you might get some pointers from the stuff I had videod at the time.

My problems revolved around basically the extra little boards (not the main boards). Nik talked about those extra boards being very picky about how much solder to use - too much and they form balls of solder which he said could distort the boards if overtightened and had caused trouble before. Funny thing was, that although my problem appeared to relate to one channel, it was actually there on everything - and when the output 'went off' it became VERY hard to find.

I checked all the connections on all those boards - in my case it did not make a difference, but Nik was very specific about that. All the same, I would check for too much solder, because he was so specific about that problem and the aggrevation it had caused before. Also slack off the non main boards from being too tight and see if the thing works.

Remember its not always wired wrong. In my build I did not have a single wire in the wrong place...

Nik also referred to bad dressing of cables - check that too.

My Power amp also worked perfectly - and I could even drive it with a pedal....  perfect - but the preamp was not.

Thanks hywelg
I have sound from the power amp input but not from the front inputs
I have emailed Nik for a voltage chart and hopfully you guys can guide me thru the process
Thanks

Tim

Ok I tried that and still nothing
on the voltage chart v4 and v5 pin1 shows 37 volts
mine are .026v and .039v
the rest are pretty close
would that be the set of (supposedly) matched tubes I bought off fleabay?
And what does HT stand for and where do I measure that?
