Anyone build one yet?

Dcham, have mainline pretty much completed, dc voltage checked out at 6.3 and 385 volts.
If it weren't for me being such a klutz and dropping and loosing a attenuator resistor I would probably be enjoying the amp by this time.
Thanks to the great service that Queen Eileen extends to klutz like myself, I should receive the part Monday.
This is definitely a level three kit, with all the convenient  switching features designed into this unit, it required "my full" concentration reading, rereading the well written instructions, as any experienced carpenter will tell you to "measure twice cut once".
As another Bottlehead poster said PATIENCE! PATIENCE! PATIENCE!
This would certainly apply to the Mainline  kit.
Credit should be given to Doc, PJ, and everyone else involved in the design, writing of the assembly manual and countless other details in order to get this kit to market, kudos to the crew at Bottlehead for another great kit. FC
 
That sums it up pretty well! Enjoy the process... TAKE YOUR TIME... Life is short. Your best times in life include the building of your kit!
 
Eric, thanks advise well taken, will take my time and enjoy the rest of the build, will be listening to my speedball crack in the mean time, which is not entirely bad listening.  :) FC
 
I have assembled the physical layout and the current supply PCBs so far.  The manual is absolutely top notch.  I have assembled the Seduction with C4S, the Crack with Speedball, and the Stereomour - and although the Crack and Stereomour had strong manuals, this one is particularly well done.

No rush here either, my wife says she'll have the wooden base stained this weekend for me, so if all goes well it'll be coming together in the next week or so.
 
So just bumping to the top. Any impressions vs the other Bottlehead kits you have built, anyone?

Comments appreciated.
Dennis
