Hi Everybody
I got my Stray Cat kit two weeks ago from Nik and I just started to put it together last night.

So far I have put the trannies in and all the valve sockets but no wiring done as yet.

I will take photos along the way and post them and so if anyone spots any mistakes or a better way to do it, please feel free to say something as this is my biggest electronics project I have taken on.

I also bought a C-Lator kit from Nik for my Overtone HRM and that was a successful build, it took me about 8 hours all up. Plenty of checking and double checking before putting power through it.

Cheers
Brian

Congrats!
I do not think I have seen a cat biased 2xEL34 amp before. Will be anxious to see how your chassis progresses.
Good Luck

I just finished mine this afternoon and it really is a fantastic amp.  I think you'll be pleased with the result!

I just finished mine and whoops I forgot to take photos on the way.

I had one problem to chase down and it was a real simple stupid mistake.
When I put the valves in I must of pushed V1 in crooked and bent a pin and it took me about an hour to find.

But IT"S ALIVE. Grin Grin Grin Grin
I have only tried it at bedroom levels so far but it's a real gain monster and the clean channel is really nice too, I will have to get a ABY box to channel switch the beast.
Now for the burn in.

Once again Nik and his team have come up with another awesome amp
