My brief experience was a spooky reality to the music. Like it was hanging in the room. Guessing this is the noise canceling of balanced operation. Also, the bass got woolly and lumpy (which is why I don't have it configured that way anymore). Output impedance doubles in balanced mode so less control over the woofers in my Halcyons.
part numbers for the potentiometer?

Please verify. It must be a 5k ohms (according to MY bom ) and it must be the P-type (orientation of the pins)
A solder sucker is the best $15 you’ll ever spend in this hobby.
Or just bank on NEVER screwing up, having a bad part, or wanting to change something.
I just received my kit and am checking inventory and I can't see where these 6 flat washers are used (See Attached). The inventory didn't match exactly with the pictures in the instructions, but from the comments on the steps, it seems to be okay, but no mention of these 6 flat washers.

3M bolt - small flat washer - spring washer - penny washer - transistor / FET.
Got it. Thank you!

I like the Soldapult. Bought 5 or 6 20 years ago, still using the first one.
this is best 100E I spent on tool in last few years
(ok, I have some other best spent...... we all know that my approach is always Omnibest )

I've checked the values on my resistors and majority of them are within a 10th or 100th, but my 332k Ohm Resistors are reading 330.2 and 331.2... are these within tolerance and okay to use?
Perfectly fine (if you meant 330.2k and 331.2k).
Yes I did. Thank you!Perfectly fine (if you meant 330.2k and 331.2k).
Please excuse my ignorance, this is first amp build. Can you clarify what you mean by this? Google search is telling me that "nominal" refers to the listed value of the component, while the actual value may be a value within a certain tolerance. I'm a little unclear as to what nominal means in your reply.All the resistors on these kits are nominal.
I have even forgot to solder both sides of the .47 Ohm resistors on one board and the amp didn't mind. Took me a while to figure that one out. This circuit is very forgiving of mistakes, modifications and new amp builders. Just look at the Amp camp with premium parts thread to see how tolerant it is of fiddling about.
