RE: I get no music out of mynewly built amp

Actually, the driver stage is an "RH" type , i.e., there is plate fb from the output tube anode to the anode of the 6j5. The fb resistor is also 100k. So, wont that make the plate load 1/2 of just the single 100k resistor?
Significantly, when i touch the input grid of the 6j5 with my DMM probe there is no sound. nothing, no click, hum, or buzz. zip, zilch, nada. I measured about 60vdc on the plate, and IIRC, 2vdc on the cathode, but i can't find my notes about that measurement, so not sure.
The odd thing is that i built this same circuit with 6sn7 instead of 2 6j5 and it worked fine. Pretty much the same part values and the same circuit but , that amp did not have fixed bias, it was cathode biased.
