About 90% finished with the circuit- all stock exept for the Mogami Cable instead of braiding the stock cable, and the headphone input- just waiting for my RCA jacks , and some work on the transformer circuit, the powerswitch was a dud so that should land next week. I have a speedball upgrade, caps and bypass cap for the powerside as well as some tubes for rolling- but those will come latter. Should have cleaned the underside of the top plate properly before I started-a well. When some one doesnt believe me that I built it myself they just need to look at the paint spots underneath (-,
Tips thus far. Clean top plate properly before starting to mount hardware. Otherwise the instructions are insanely good.
If you upgrade the headphone input- you will have very little space to get the resistors through the holes- use a nedle nose plier and some tweasers they will go through. Check every connection with your DMM. will save you frustration latter if you need to troubleshoot.
