There also has to be at least a moderate volume set (not muted) so that current is passing though the output capacitors. You may already be aware of this, just being sure so you don't waste time and tube hours.
Congratulations on your new ET3 SE.

Anthony - Ahhh, thanks so much for this advice. Indeed, I did NOT have a connected load. After drilling down on this in a few boards, honestly, I find some that say the load is important and others say not. I'll put it to CJ tomorrow for their opinion.
In the meantime, I'm played a disc of tones, pink and white noise now for 200 hours....
