Are your voltages still all good?
One possibility is that there is a miswire in the input selector that had right wired to a different step on the switch than left. Have you tried switching thru the input settings to see if the dead channel comes to life on another input setting? It's probably worth trying signal on every input just to see if you can spot an issue there.

If the voltages measure in-spec, then the resistances would be OK.

It's best to try to narrow these issues down by swapping tubes, cables, etc. between channels.

Yup, I just double checked and the voltages are good.  I'll go over the input wiring and then try to hear all the inputs.

By the way, I'll be in Seattle for a few days next week.  Could I bring my handiwork by Bottlehead HQ for some advice?  I might be able to come by Monday or Tuesday.

I'll make sure PB is around Tuesday to have a look. I can do it too, but if he handles it you and I can go up to the listening room and check out the system (including the new DAC) while he works on it.

Let me know if you have a specific time in mind.

We're waiting for the 10:40 ferry from Seattle, so maybe 11:45?

Just a note that Dave dropped by today with his BeePre, and this ended up being the issue.

The guys tell me I get to keep the corner office for another day for guessing that one.

I really enjoyed my visit to Bottlehead today.  Thanks so much for taking the time to meet me and my family.  I probably would have found my bug eventually, but this was much more fun.  It was great talking to y'all and the demo system was amazing.
