Looks good...

Finished mine last weekend.  It's burning it right now as I type this.  Get yourself a telefunken 12au7, I just put one in and it's definitely a huge upgrade

Always wanting to experiment, where did you buy yours?

Got both tubes on ebay...  the 6AS7 I've had for a number of years, but it did not behave well in another circuit.  In the crack it's awesome.  The 12AU7 was a recent auction that also had a mullard in it.  The mullard turned out to be bad.

This amp's sound can be greatly improved by rolling other tubes through it until you find one that you like.

If you hunt on ebay long enough you should be able to snag some tubes on the cheap.

Finished mine two days ago and it too is sounding sweet. Me thinks it's time for a speedball.
