If you know for certain the tube used to have a visible orange glow and it is now not visible then that's a different story. What I posted before is all true, but it doesn't apply in this case since the tube changed.

Just swap the "no glow" tube with one of the other 6n1p tubes that does glow and see how it looks in a different socket. That's the easiest way to narrow down what the issue is in this case.

Finally - the Russian 6n1p tubes are a better choice than the Chinese ones IMHO. I've sold about 80 of the 100 Russian ones I had and have yet to have a single issue with any of them.

Thanks for the follow up. I swapped them around and that one tube is totally dead now. I guess it still was hanging on when it felt hot and was still playing. It doesn't even feel warm anymore.

I put in some Russian 6nip I just got and all is well.
