The nice thing about DIY is that you don't have to follow any codes.
I realise that commercial manufacturors have to comply with all kinds of codes (including RoHS which made the Lyra Connousseur unavailable), so they are always somewhat limited. I owned a Kondo Kegon once and had acces to a Kondo Ongaku and Gako-Ons for some months and I can say that my DIY comfortably outperforms these amps also due to the fact I don't have to adhere to any codes.
My DIY amp sounds more like a higglest-end 211, but with the 300B midrange sweetness. Its amazing...

I hear ya - it looks like you have avoided component-chassis coupling nicely. :) Still, I'd be concerned about insurance... but hey, that is my stuff to deal with, not yours!
Question - where did you source those sweet looking silver knobs in the second photo from the top? Are they machined metal?
Cheers,

It is only an insurance problem when your house burns down and the fire inspector comes though and finds your burned out husk of non-UL approved electrical equipment and says that is the cause of the fire. Other than that, what's to worry? :-)
Does OZ have actual insurance inspections? Here they just roll by in their car to make sure that there is actually a house at the address (sometimes).
Not sure, but I would not want to test it. Insurance companies here are forever creating ways to avoid paying... I don't want to help them! That is why I try to have my builds comply (to the best of my knowledge).
Cheers,

I once tired to insure my EUR 500K+ Audio Note UK/Kondo set. Different guys came, they all went heads shaking. Its just impossible or offensively expensive.

The great thing about DIY is that to get up to the investment where you want to take out a special insurance rider to cover the value, usually the men in white coats come and take you away first.
Keep listening for the idling truck outside your house.
