Well that's this one finished and ready to go. Its been a long ass build, mainly due to the goal posts shifting a few times around us. However, it looks the dogs danglies and I'm really happy with the result. Hope bigbird is as happy as I am.  |

Well done Oli, and all those piccies too Cheers Dave. I thought it would be nice to catalogue the build as not many people see how they develop from a box of bits from mouser and the like, to a fully built unit like this. I feel like I have honed in on the right build process too. This is the second 2 box one I have done and it's a nice to get it done and out of the door, which will happen Friday. Trouble is, the nerves start now! |

Looks lovely that Omi, especially the external psu box with a proper iec filter, a nice extra touch.
I'm sat here with a full paradise board set ready to fire up for the first time. I hate this step...

Sold some stuff recently, so may attack my BB3 build.
What valves are the best performing? Matsushita PCC88/7DG8.
What is the latest with the parallel FET board? Are they needed to maximise performance?
