Marantz 4300 R744 smoking

Failed out of engineering, but look at me now!

Hey guys, so I have a Marantz 4300 I'm currently working on, I swapped the 2SC458s in the amp board to KSC1845s and everything seemed good so I went on to recap the board and get rid of the VD1212s.

I went wring somewhere apparently as R744 seems to be going up in smoke. Any ideas why?

Pics below, as having more sets of eyes always helps:

Back of board, moved one of the dial diodes back here since there wasnt space up top:

Figured it out, wound up being The result of me bumping the bias pot during the recap. Lesson learned there!
