The plot thickens. I checked all of the resistance at the rails and they were in a hair's breath of the original settings. As far as the tube sockets, they too were pretty much the same except for one resistance on the c socket. One had gone up about 6K Ohms. I left the numbers upstairs and will get those toy you. All of the DC voltages were in normal spec and all 4 led's lit up on the three boards. Now for the interesting part. I rechecked all of my tubes. (I have a B&K dynascan tube tester.) Except for the one that I blew up, the other three showed good. I came back down to my system plugged everything back in. Put on a record and I got sound out of both channels, however it was very low at full volume. The longer I left it on, the quieter it got. The turntable I am currently using has a low output MC with a passive sut. I purchased the sut from a gentlemen on eBay who makes them. It is about 4 years old. I thought it might be the SUT so I by passed it plugged the directy into the Eros. There was no change in volume. In fact it was dead silent. As an fyi, prior to purchasing the SUT I used the same cartridge with the EROs and got descent volume but just not enough. Finally just to rule out any issues with the Beepre, I moved the Eros ouput to my CD input on the Beepre. No change.
