Hi-Fi tube amp kit from China

Brenda, I took voltage and resistance readings right after I finished the wiring. G2 on the 6L6 is 211v, plate is 310v, cathode is 10v. This is on a 120v ac line. I am quite curious as to what amp you built (or are building)??? As far as power output, it would interesting to check mine, but I have never tried that before. I have a newly acquired audio generator and can connect the output to a scope across the load (speaker). I had also wondered what the frequency response was. Some instruction here would be appreciated.
FYI, I found a set of 'seasoned' Sylvania 6SN7GT tubes worked very well. There were all kinds of peculiarities with the China tubes. I have been using the amp about every opportunity I can before I start writing down my experiences, my likes, dislikes, etc.
I do note that the transformers run cool (warm to the touch, but not a "wow" followed by a violent retreat of my hand).
If I could find the place called "Somewhere", I could find "Anything"
