We have sun today. 
Btw: I measured temperature difference top/bottom of my amps heatsink.
The distance between output devices is 160mm (mounting holes), distance between measurement points was 220mm, overall heatsink height 250mm.
I was surprised to see the temperature difference was only ~2°C (50°C bottom, 52°C top).
I'd say there's no issue with the output stage layout at all.

Oh yeah, what if IT was one of these two...?
This might heat up the sink
Just fooling around, I had to take a break from tinning and drilling, wore out my bits.

Are you going to build this board or frame it?
Hey Guys
I am working as hard as I can...
For instance, I had to finish building the PRE regulator board to feed the board I just fabricated. Testing step by step is my method. I still have not had the nerve to mount the LSK389a surface devices. Yes they came in.
Patience is all I can ask for, IF you want pics say so...
The 12 device layout is just a show off of my stacking of device skills, no intent at this juncture to build it, but one day....
Plus I had to integrate the Keithly 192 5 plus digit dc volt meter into my bench, it is awesome...

I have the 197: a very good piece of equipment, and they have excellent support locally here.
Yes, I should have it built by now. No, I haven't. I have a vast array of things competing for my attention. When one thing stops, another immediately takes over. I have a long list of things in my head that I "should" be doing or should already have done. That is one of the reasons my living space looks like it does. Mountains of unfinished business.
I have a problem. I am pretty much limited to paying with paypal, which excludes Profusion as a source of FETs. I have enough money for the FETs and some more stuff, just getting it is the problem. I'm looking at 2 pairs of ECF10N16/P16, and I need a PCB large enough to put the frontend on. And I believe I can get the compensation caps from Mouser.

I think I will leave the PCB as power ground and use a floating thick copper wire as the signal ground. I will secure components to the board using wires soldered to the board. This way, I don't ruin the board by gluing components to it, the components are close to the ground plane, and I don't have to worry about my third hand.
