Happy news from Austin. My Quickie is up, running, and singing like a champ. Build was very enjoyable and went super smooth. All resistance and voltage checks were well within normal limits. There is an extremely perceivable difference in my system with the Quickie - I'm amazed at how much better everything sounds. It looks like it's gonna be a bottle of George T Stagg and some quality time with the vinyl collection tonight.
No doubt the PJCCS will be on order in no time. I still want to add a third input - I just got a little PCB DAC in the mail, so integrating that will be next weekend's project. Oh man, and I need to build a bunch more interconnects. Then there's the base to consider... I can see how this hobby can get addictive fast!
Thank you all for your guidance and helping me get my feet wet with this project. Here are some pictures for the board.
Warmly,
Witold
