One thing about the layout, it doesn't match Brown Note's exactly. I've taken the liberty of adding another power supply node. The Brown Note schematic/layout have the preamp tube and phase inverter both connected to the same node on the power supply. In that circuit the anode and screen each have their own node on the power supply. I decided to decouple the phase inverter from the preamp. No reason, really. Just wanted to do it. I can reconfigure the circuit and make it exactly like the layout/schematic if I want to.

I got confirmation from both Mouser and Hoffman amps that the parts have shipped. Once I get the parts in hand, I'm going to have the face plate made. I'm also going to have BNP Lasers make me a template so I can route out the hole for the IEC inlet. It will be a square of plastic with a laser cut hole in it to the dimensions of the IEC connector.
