I have the DC Filament Supply, Shunt Regulator, and MourQuiet Attenuator upgrades to install.

Does it matter which one I work on first?

The absolute most important thing is that you build the amp stock first and getting it 100% working.  It's far harder to debug an amp with upgrades when you don't know whether it's the upgrades or the stock build that caused the issue.

I would put the DC filament in first, because it's far easier than the other two upgrades.  I would do the SR driver next, then the attenuator last, mostly because you'll be well warmed up by then and you want to do your best work on that attenuator.
