sorry for the spam, but the coupling shafts just came in. I'm aesthetically finished, just waiting on a mains relay now. I've been using it without a delay like normal but I imagine it would unnerve anyone else who used it...
feels good man. this thing took forever because I was too busy listening to it
the aspects didn't turn out exactly how I wanted but I met the space/density goals. it kind of reminds me of a Manley amp with the way the tubes are oriented, except nicer boards
overall I'd give it a 3/10 because the knob isn't made of obsidian
I think I'm going to get someone to take real pictures of the thing before posting ad pics on head-fi

Other bits of information
It gets pretty warm inside the case. I think the top plate gets to ~55C after 8 hours or so. Underside isn't a problem, top plate worries me a bit but it doesn't seem to be hurting anything.
I switched out the quads, CCS tubes are on the outside iirc so orient your quads that way if you're mix and matching
I might be a fan of Supremes now, I'd shake my first at Birgir if it wasn't dead from screwing and unscrewing things
