Tube amp help-

hello all,

wondering if any of you have an idea what is going on with my amp...

the amp is a JC Verdier Audiobloc II.

it is popping fuses after I shut down the amp.

I can place in a new fuse, listen for the evening, then the next time I turn on the amp the fuse will be blown and I will have to install a new one to get the amp going again.

I have checked the following:

1. the bias is correct
2. the tubes are good, ive tried different sets of output tubes, and driver tubes and all have been tested via tube tester

thanks

1. What is the output power of the amp?
2. What kind of tube amp is it(Push-Pull or SE)?
3. What rating of fuse you use?
4. When you power it up do you hear the popping noise from your speakers?
5. Is it so when it powers-down(assuming fuse stays OK)?
6. How loud you usually listen to music and how long with your current amp?
