Re: The Audiophoolery Thread.
Ye gods and little fishes!
What you have there is the work of an audio mage of at least level seven or eight!
Not only was the type and value of every component selected only by listening, all components have been positioned by ear and only then soldered and cemented in place.
Everything is glued together because an audibly superior glue is far better than screws because it is usual to use all right-hand threads throughout and this gives an amplifier a degree of handedness. Opinions vary about whether each amplifier would be better with an even balance between left and right handed threads, or whether it would be best to go to monoblocks with all left hand in one amp, all right hand in the other. Cement is a very clever way of circumventing this uncertainty in a stereo amplifier. Opposite-handed arrangements are needed for the Southern hemisphere of course.
Notice that only the very thinnest and carefully minimised wire is used for absolute purity.
Oh, is it CE marked?
