Things on the home front have let up a little. I've finally had some time to work on a project I started collecting parts for several years ago. I'm building Eric Barbour's SV811 amp. I was drawn to this schematic for its simplicity. I'm still very new to building and would like some assistance along the way. I've built the chassis and drilled the top plates, which are 12x24". The top plates will be going to the powder coater on Tuesday. I'll post pictures when I get them back......C

Wow, Colin, that's AWESOME!Every time I build a circuit from schematic, I put the sockets and major components in place, then wire the power lines, then the signal lines. It's just a matter of doing them step by step, one at a time. Steve Brown has done some really great tube amps, so he probably has pointers on how to lay the lines best for noise immunity. Other than that, it's all about staying organized so you don't lose track of where you are. Please keep us posted. Looks like a great project!

Thanks for the offer to help. I will call if I get stuck. Which high voltage power supply wire and connectors do you recommend? Ground bus wire? .....Colin

Had the day off yesterday and wanted to cut a bunch of cherry and pine for chassis and sound panels but no go. Colin inspired me to tackle my most dreaded project, a re-do of the 3 parts bins that had become a disorganised mess over the past 7 years. I got one done, the resistors ![](http://i415.photobucket.com/albums/pp237/wsepstein/IMG_0643_1.jpg)
maybe in 7 more years I'll get around to the caps
