Why not try with and without the jumpers? Ensure your tube preamp is warmed up (10 mins) first. If you’re concerned with DC on the tube pre output, you could test with a DMM on the millivolt range. However, as it’s likely the tube pre has output coupling caps, there shouldn’t be an issue. If still concerned, use cheapo test speakers to ensure the Krell is happy. Then use your main speakers to do the listening test.
