I want to check what voltages are being supplied to the plates of the EL84 output tubes on my amp... as of now, there's no speaker connected, and i've taken out all the tubes.
If i put the rectifier tube back in, but leave the rest out, can i measure the B+ voltages (correct term for plate voltages?) without damaging anything?
or, if i install a standby switch, can i do it then without a speaker attached and tubes all removed?
also, what gauge wire should i use to connect to a speaker? and does solid/stranded make a difference here?
