AES AE3 + Bedini woes

Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Greetings all.
My first post here in the Asylum. I'm new to tubes, having just purchased my first piece of gear in the form of a used AES AE-3. Unpacked it today, put the tubes in (using a sock on my hand), hooked it up to my Bedini 150mk2 and sat back to enjoy.
No left channel. Lots of hum.
I assume the hum is from a ground loop, so I'll not worry about that yet, but the absence of sound from the left is more than troubling. I swapped out interconnects to no avail. Let things sit for a few, and when I came back the power amp was very hot. I shut everything down and won't touch it until I can get some info. Any thoughts?
Thanks
