Can you show me what your meter is displaying on both of those terminals?

That's 12,000,000 ohms.

Thank you Paul.
So does this mean I am good to proceed with the next next step?

I don't see any resistances that look out of line.

OK WOW
ALL DONE NOW.

Thanks for  your support.
So far its sounding really great , I imagine it will take a while for it to sound its best.
In Anycase its already sounding really nice.

I started listening to Miles Davis - The Complete "In A Silent Way", I wondered why there was so much hiss, thought the amp had an issue then listed to other more modern recordings such as Nik Bärtsch's Ronin, of course no background noise at all. Also the amp is quite revealing.

Thank you for again for your support , it has been a massive learning curve, first time build etc with very minimal soldering experience.

There's definitely nothing wrong with double checking and taking your time.  I'm glad it's all up and running!
