LM3886 Schematics + PCB

This is my version of this amp. I finished today. It sounds great !
Check the schematics in atasament. What do you think ?

Hi all,
I am planning to build an amp with Apexaudio circuit and I am about to order the caps and resistors. Since I am a beginner, could someone tell me if the parts (as given in the attached images) are of adequate/correct specs? I dont really understand the different types of caps , hence need some help in choosing the correct components.
regards
prasi

The sch does not tell me which is the 680pF !
I'll guess, since you didn't tell me either, that the 680pF is the RF attenuator capacitor C2
This can be a silvered mica, or a polystyrene, or a polypropylene, or a NP0/C0G ceramic. I would choose either a polypropylene, or an NP0.

Now show me what the duties and operational voltages of the other capacitors are and I will try to guide you.
 
pl see the second attachment (is it called layout?, I am a beginner!)and also the parts list mentioned by Apex audio which i guess is somewhere on page 3 of the thread.
As I said, i am a beginner, I dont know the functions and operational voltages of any of the components, hence i am following somebody's work (APEX audio in this case) and trying to build a system for myself that sounds better than chepo commercial amps.
 
Its a simple enough circuit, right? What can possibly go wrong?... to start with we have so many success stories... then the schematics(post no.#43), PCB layout showing traces and component values (post#240). I only wanted to select correct type of caps for the circuit. With resistors, you corrected me to use metal film /oxide rather than carbon film. thanks for that.

Just to share one of my favorite APEX collections LM3886 Chip Amplifer...
I can't stop my self to build again and again.....:D
I enjoy a lot with this very very nice amplifier of APEX
Regards,

Hi Do you still have the .brd or gerber file of the APEX LM3886 PCB.? I would like to use the same file to get some PCB's printed. Pl help.
