I am opposed to adding a simplified e12 to the Starving Student. Build a MAX if you want those kind of accessories on the board. There were literally hundreds of Millett Hybrids built without e12 circuits - without incident. It adds at least 10 parts that are totally unrelated and not common to any other part of the amp - and an extra $5. That may sound trivial, but it all adds up. The hassle of parts selection and constructing the e12 is a totally unrelated, complicated exercise. The relay itself would become the single most-expensive part on the board, too.
1000uf output caps are not necessary, either. There is a long history of the Millett with 470uf output caps and no complaints from lack of bass. Right now as the board stands, 1000uf 63V caps are impossible to fit, anyway. I've got 470uf 63V Panasonic FC caps and the bass almost rivals a full-blown MAX. I'm embarrassed to admit how good this thing sounds with 1/4W carbon-film resistors, four Pana FC caps, two stock Mouser Wima coupling film caps, and a Panasonic EVJ pot.
Simple is good.
