Whoops.... I forgot to note that your soldering also appeared to be
quite elegant as I remember, with no lethal voltages exposed above the
chassis. Not the mare's nest of miscellaneous higglety-pigglety that
Mr. McCoy displays in his Magnum Opus.

Just an observation.

I wouldn't call the wiring a "mare's nest", and in any case we may be
jumping to invalid conclusions about "lethal voltages exposed above the
chassis." If the amplifier in question was intended purely as a
breadboard to be used to develop the circuits, then it is perfectly normal
and reasonable for there to be "lethal voltages exposed above the
chassis." But I suspect that the real situation here is somewhat
different. It looks to me like Andre has built the amplifier circuits on
a metal panel which ultimately forms one side, or the top, of an enclosure
which isolates the lethal voltages from contact with stray human or animal
body parts. I am only guessing at this, perhaps Andre could comment on my
speculation.
