Dent in tweeters effect sound quality?

A Super-Simple 6DJ8 Headphone Amp
Guys, does anyone have a BOM I could use for parts for the amp. I have read a few of you have tweaked parts based on the attached schematic. I was going to follow the schematic exactly as it is, but if there are a few tweaks that will improve the build, i may as well order them from the start...- fault151
