I never posted my MH here for some reason even though it has been done for some time now. Here is a pic of the inside. I will get more pics once I get my camera back. All wires are shielded and a whole bunch of other good stuff.

I bought two pair of them over 6 months ago and haven't found any since, they were the last ones available from that source at the time. I gave one pair to a friend and kept one for me. I have to be honest though, to my ears I don't hear much of a difference between the different tube brands. Furthermore I've got a friend who has researched these things like crazy and most companies all purchased their tubes from the same manufacturer and just rebranded them. He has purchased Tung Sols and had the two, matched tubes, look completely different in terms of inner construction. So I don't put a whole lot of stock in the brand of a given tube anymore.
I chose a pair of UCD-400's with the HG power supply and soft start module. It has a monsterous 625VA torroid. It is extremely powerful. I think I have to prepare a set of DIY loudspeakers to harness the potential of that amp.
Nice work Darkisz. What jacks are those. Also, what's the jack between the in and outs?
The input/output jacks are the isolated ones from Tangent's Parts List. This one. Polaris111688 is right, the middle jack is for DC to the battery charging circuit.
I started and finished a PINT today. My first SMD work, aside from the 627's I mounted on Browndogs before I started the PINT. Turned out pretty nice, and sounds fantastic. The Duracells will be replaced with 170mah's when they arrive.
Darkisz, nice work, that's the first completed PINT I've seen on the boards. Been waiting to hear feedback on this amp, how did you find the assembly (SMD etc)? Did you use part values shown on the schematics? 8397 op amps? Curious to hear what the battery life is using those...
