It may be a first but will probably be the LAST ! It certainly need s lot of work to put right and bring it up from low to mid-fiThere are no brass fixings and no brass washers . Everyone knows the fixings provide 90% of the sound of an amplifier . By the fixings alone , you may as well scrap it and start AGAIN !!! Surely with a paralleled 12AX7 per channel , you will get the 'choir' effect ? There appears to be an issue with the chassis . It appears to be too big and the top plate appears to be the WRONG colour ! It does not follow the golden ratio either and the sides appear to be made of wood which negates ALL the benefits of a steel chassis . Look at that long run of white wire , the transfer LOSS must be phenomenal . Didn't Dr Halijack tech you anything ? The musical electrons will slow down , may become diverted to other parts of circuitry or not arrive at all causing irrepairable timing errors in the musical signal .
You should have breadboarded first . Never mind... zzzzzzzzzz

I think this project won't rise to truly memorable levels until you FENG SHUI it. Remember that all amplifiers have SOUL and they have to WANT to sound good. They should INVITE you, LURE you in, EXCITE and CALM you at the same time.
1. It must be used only in truly FENG SHUI'd homes, with proper control over animals and foodstuffs.
2. Open the windows often or use a good quality air-purifier to keep the air fresh and full of oxygen. OXYGEN is important for ELECTRONS.
3. Have several levels of lighting in your hi-fi room, or use a DIMMER SWITCH to adjust the ENERGY accordingly.
4. Use SOOTHING COLOURS to achieve a good feng shui BALANCE in the internal wiring. Dr. RUDOLF STEINER has suggested a palette of PASTEL colours which may suit.
5. Keep all the DOORS CLOSED during audition to ensure the OPTIMUM ENERGY FIELD in the listening environment. Electrons are restless things, and some may be tempted to wander round other rooms.
Andy,
Q. You mean like the place wherein you reside ??
A. " Well,.... not exactly. "

Some good points made... I think he can add genuine benefit (and value) by adding some small household shrubs to assist with those poorly-placed electron scattering voids . Maybe even some Victorian-style sash windows to compliment the wiring combs on the top of the chassis ?

Nobody has mentioned *C*R*Y*S*T*A*L*S* yet! How do you expect to attain the dizzy heights of audio reproduction excellence without the judicious application of crystals? Huh? I respectfully refer y'all to the Tweakers' Forum, where you may learn the path to truth and understanding.
