The 1% codes are 3 significant digits followed by exponent on 4th. Looks like you have right values and either your JFET or MOSFET is bad.
Heh, good catch!
I've got a long listening session coming up in a few hours with the DT-770's.
X, you have the 880 pro's? I've been thinking about a small upgrade for my home office headphones. I like my DT770's quite a bit, but would like something a bit more open.
Nice! You have even the same exact volume knob I use ! 
Find a track with lots of bass and have a listen. The DT770's will shake your head but it will still sound clean.
Infected Mushroom is good for that.
Daft Punk's Random Access Mem is good too.
For vocals try Melody Gardot or Norah Jones.
Some Dire Straits is great too.
Have fun

Aphex Twin's 'Syro' album is awesome, especially "syro u473t8+e". I listened to some Lorde as well, great detail.
Definitely makes me a bit more motivated to buy some new cans!
unfortunately, no. i did change the bf862 but that didnt help, i have the same readings. i'm not giving up, i should get some more ZVN4306GTAs next week, i dont have any right now, and i'll replace the one on the right side and see how that goes. thanks for your help!
i'll replace the mosfet and see how that goes. i'll keep you posted. thanks for all the help.
I haven't tested battery life yet. I'll test that Monday.
I got a few of these tins to try as well:

They're the same size as the Altoids tin. I might pop mine into one of them at some point.
I think you can get them for about $1ea here. Available in bulk too.

I have sound! My Sennheiser 598s are singing. First impression listening to "Send it On" from Voodoo by D'Angelo: the bass is awesome!
I can't wait to have a long listening session to get acquainted with the sound.
I've set up a quick and dirty way to compare the sound of different output caps using gator clips attached to wires temporarily soldered to the board...against X's cautions that it would sound crappy... So far I am just listening with 1000uF OSCONs, with no bypass yet, and I'm already pleased!
I have the original 390uF OSCONs plus some 470uF Nichicon AKs I will be comparing with the caps I have clipped in there now.
This is my first amp build and my first SMT soldering job...I took my time and it works perfectly. Big thanks to X and BDHM! Now I'm going to go revel a bit.

Congratulations man, you did a fine job. It's wonderful to have first sound the first time!
Your cap comparo looks interesting, you could probably make an entire thread about it
I suspect you will not hear an audible difference with or without the Wima's. I do think that if you have lower impedance cans, the 1000uF OSCON will be audibly deeper bass.
Happy listening - another happy builder with great sound.
