Babelfish F8

2 channels are up and running, +/-24V supply, 1,5A bias, offest ~10mV, load 8Ohm, heatsink ~60°C
So far so good, but

Same on both channels, parts selection and soldering well done.
R12 and R13 are soldered by you on bottom side showing 1000. That´s 100R right?

where exactly measured?

as per protocol for smd resistors, read as 100*10^0, so yes, 100R


can' t see split washers on output parts screws


now, screws for energy points; hope you soldered screw heads on bottom side; that's how clever guys did it, as I saw in various professional gear
helper flux is handy for that

thats only for testing da thing. I´ll solder proper wires when everything is fine.

I miss some gain...
 
What size fastener did you use?
M3 wouldn’t fit without enlarging the hole which would remove the through hole copper. If that’s that’s the case, I wouldn’t solder wire in those locations, keep the fasteners and solder them in place as ZM suggested.
 
if every part is in place, with proper value, and you're able to set Iq and offset, I don't know how it's possible to get wrong gain

you did mention smd resistors soldered by me - those are R12 and R13; circuit can even go without them , they're here just for very unlikely case of TP2 wiper loosing contact

just for fun, what's voltage across R6?
