RE: I get no music out of mynewly built amp

"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."

That's really strange.

I assume you bias supply is referenced to ground.

I think you said the grid to bias pot resistor is only 13k?

This is not an answer to why you are getting no sound but why such a low value grid resistor?

There has to be something mis-wired.

Do you get anything using you meter at the output tube grid?
