Default Please offer advice/suggestions for first schematic

Hello all,

Here is the first schematic for the hybrid amp that I have been talking about for the last week or so. You will notice the similarities in the output stage to Bruce Heran's Oddblock amplifiers, I haven't tried mixing solid state and tube before, and I've actually done very little with solid state.

Please let me know if you see any errors or let me know if you have any suggestions for improvement.

Thank you in advance for your help!

both schematics are DC coupled.
Is that what you want and what you need?
The input arrangement will be very susceptable to source changes.
The output DC offset of the chip will vary all over the place when sources are changed or volume is changed or source disconnected. Source selector is the equivalent to disconnecting the source for a millisecond or ten.

You have a DC block with the 330nF so the valve side is not at risk of playing wayward tricks on you. But why Auricap? What's wrong with MKT or MKS or MKP, or FKS, or FKT, or FKP, or Teflon (don't know the shorthand for them)?
