I’m having weird problems with the rectifier tube on my Divided by 13 JRT 9/15.
First I tried a New Sensor Mullard GZ34 and the amp immediately blew a fuse as soon as I flipped it off standby. I figured it must be a bad tube so I returned it.
Next I tried a JJ GZ34S. The amp turned on, no blown fuses I see the tube glowing, but when I flipped the amp on there is no sound coming out and the tube stays cold.
I guess there’s a chance I got two bad tubes in a row, but is there something else going on?
This is the tube that is in there now. Is there something special about this that I don’t know that would explain why it works? The tube chart for the amp just says 5ar4/gz34
