RE: Update...bent the pins of all 4 of the EL84's and so...

Another beauty of tubes should you change sources or more importantly speakers you can modify the sound by swapping tubes. With SS you're stuck with that sound unless you start swapping cables to 'tweak' the sound.

I'm pretty sure loose pins was the problem. I had the same problem and it was the pin for the grid that was loose causing the tube to saturate and blow.
