OK,Here, in my opinion only, just looking only, never hearing this amp, but I think I already know, of what is wrong with that:
(1) It looks like its three stages, rather than two.
(2) It seems to have a coupling cap in it, the worst possible way to couple..
(3) It uses a 300B tube, not the best tube.
(4) It has large, single, conventional-looking choke, and likely, a high DCR B+ filter.
(5) Its RCA jacks, are located way too far away from the input tube's grid.
(6) It seems to use an added cathode follower stage, which is sort of like having anal sex with a woman, rather than vaginal.
You should have built your own, and done a whole lot better than that.
JUST MY opinion. I certainly don't think like everyone else. YMMV of course ! You asked us to respond !!
