One more question: From looking at the schematic, it seems that both the input and output caps could be a lot smaller than the recommended 10uF/30uF. I've tried calculating the input and output impedances but I'm not sure I have it right . What's the minimum value for these caps?

Mike,
Really... I'm not complaining? I'm very grateful that you sent it. There is not a thing wrong with the boards or anything to complain about at all! If you had more boards I'd love to have several to build up for other people. I decided to take this one to full balanced operation. Had yet to run my 2s in balanced mode at all..... In order to do this there was some re-work that had to be done on both boards. And at the same time I made all the resistors MF's and changed a few others to coencede with the factory version. The ones that I installed were basically the same wattage as yours were...... Regarding the sinks... Some have them and some don't... which has me a bit confused....... So whats up here? Would seem to me that these devices can dissipate a watt free air... or can't they..... I left the sinks on the regulators. If they all need to be on a sink I would consider taking the time to machine a bar of alumnium to thermally connect them all together.
BTW: you ought to hear it in balanced mode
Thanks!
