No problem, manualblock. I did the same when I built my KT 88 amp.
It was the rosenblitz design intended for mono blocks. Just configure it with a single power x-former with twice the milliamperage ( is that a word?), and make it dual channel, (two sets of rectifiers, etc) after the x-former. The only difference is how the transformer hooks to the rest of it I put the power supply in a separate chassis. In the amp chassis, it is true dual mono..you could saw this in half with a hacksaw and it would be mono block. If I had it to do over, I would seriously consider building it all on one chassis for simplicity. the amp is on a 17x15 and the power supply on a 10x17. If you are building the VTV amp, are you using the plitron Iron? Even the coils are quite pricey. I thought of building it using the plitron outputs, but cheaping out on the coils and maybe the power trans.


Hope this helps
