Richie!

very nice, but you could improve the sound qite a bit by putting the feedback resistor on teh pins of the chip directly.
i did, and i heard difference.

happy diy'ing and a happy new year!

The Panasonics would be worth an audition but metal film resistors don't sound better than CF, just different.

Thanks for the advice, I have some 10000uF Nicicons comming. What i really need is a stronger transformer. Do you guy think 30000uF would make a good snubber?
Happy new years.......... Im going to pass out now.

Pay particular attention to the snubber section of these articles.
Hope this helps.
