I like to think of it as pretty much as maxed a configuration that you can build in the smallest possible box. It runs a 24V AC wallwart into a TREAD running 28V DC into the amp. From there you've got all Cerafine and Silmic II caps feeding Tung Sol 12FK6's and diamond buffers all controlled by an alps pot. All housed in a hammond 1455T1602 (6.3 x 6.3 x 2.1") case. Sounds really good so far, and I think looks ok too.

I really like the way the amp looks. It has a simplistic, uncluttered look to it. I also like that plast (rubber?) ring you placed around the tubes. Overall, great job!
