Playing around a little, and I think what I am going to do is 3D print a bracket for the power transformer to be mounted in. Then I will just run leads off the pertinent pins and wire the rest of the amp point to point using axial leaded components on a ground bus wire. I sketched it out and I can do the power supply pretty easily using a turret board and then one tag strip per tube. I've got a 10x12 chassis sitting around so I'll have tons of room to work. Once I get some work done I'll start a thread. Waiting for transformers now.

  I do have them... I have to find my external hard drive and locate the files, I will get back to you ASAP...

Please let me know too. Thanks.

On the Headwatt schematic it shows a ground symbol on the high voltage bridge rectifier section where the first filter capacitor negative side is connected. Is that the best place to use as a star ground for the rest of the circuit? Having read and re-read his page on grounding I think that is what he intends.

I etched my boards for this amp, here is what I came up with...

Nice! Thanks for sharing that.

Blooze: I know we've gotten off topic, which direction do you think you will go with amp choice?

Well, I'm definitely building the Max. I'm seriously considering the Headwatt, although I have so many pairs or quads of tubes I could go about any direction. 12B4a's, 6EM7, 6SN7, 6080, 6197, 1626, 12sx7, etc..... Then there's that 6C45pi parafeed on the forum right now. I'd really like to build a parafeed similar to the MAD Ear purist to try as well.
