Jerome, the good news is I am back in business once again!
Last Saturday Danny from Coupe de Foudre came by the house and replaced the 300b's and the fuse. He biased the tubes and taught me how to do it as well. A little tricky on a Shindo amp as you have to turn the amp upside down and remove the bottom to get access. Once that step is completed it really is not that difficult although replacing the fuse certainly requires a steady hand.
We also checked my power receptacles. They are slightly higher than 120 but not really high enough to consistently blow tubes. Hopefully these new pair of 300b's will last a long time.
Being that Danny is a serious vinyl guy I also had him check my cartridge. He made some minor adjustments and the result is a big improvement in my vinyl sound quality. Amazing how what seems like very small changes can amount to huge improvements when dealing with cartridges.
Needless to say I am a happy camper once again.
