    Guys,

    Did some more minor wiring this morning. Got a few things corrected that needed to be and started the filament wiring. Filament wiring is my least favorite part of amp building.

    Thanks for the kind words, but it is starting to look like a rat's nest in there. It's not the cleanest build I've ever done.

    This one is:

    That was built for a friend of mine and had to be absolutely perfect.

    I hope to get some more wiring done this evening.

    Tung,

    Just curious on your friends build. Did you need to put shielded wire on the inputs or just did it in case of squeal? I had to use them on one amp but later on I took them off and it worked fine, can't figure that one out. This has been a touchy area on some of my builds.

    Beautiful job:

    M

    Again, thanks for the kind words.

    I built the amp with shielded wire just to make sure that it was dead silent. I wasn't taking any chances with that one. I also used a 330uF/450V cap in parallel with the first 47uF cap on the board. It is the blue chassis mounted cap in this photo:

    I was afraid that it would make the amp to stiff sounding, but my friend loves the amp. And the amp is dead quiet which surprised me as most SE amp usually have some hum in them.
