The 2.7R and 0.1uF are optional Zobel components and I do not recommend using them, that's why they were not included.

There shouldn't be any 1.5R resistors there, the 3W 0.1Rs are used for parallel configuration only.

My apologies. I probably read that in this thread a while back and just overlooked it. Here is a pic then of the first board. Both of these will be stereo as I want to make one 4 channel amp, and then the second kit will be wired for 2 channels. How does this look now

Unless using batteries, the rectifier board is always needed.

You may try Antek transformer on Ebay or check with Apex Jr: miscellaneous.html

should i go with a transformer or toroid? which transformer model is most suitable for LM3875 dual mono kit?

i read the building instructions and saw on the picture that each pcb output is connected to L&R RCA. 2 pcb will be 2 of RCA pairs while i only need 6.3mm headphone output. how do i solve this problem?
 
For headphones it doesn't matter much, choose most convenient option.

For the amp I usually recommend 300VA, 2 x 22V toroids, for headphones 100VA should be fine.

Regarding wiring problem, check those links for details:

my headphone needs 4W at 100 ohm impedance. so 100VA transformers will do? how do i know the transformer's power is sufficient for powering my headphone?

i looked at the schematic again, and ended up confused with the output channel:

the picture is showing 1 PCB. it's clearly written there are 2 output channels. if i build a LM3875 kit i will have 2 PCB with same output, meaning there will be 2 left & 2 right channel right? while the headphone jack will only need 1 left, 1 right, & 1 ground channel. How do i do the wiring?
