Thank you! I spent soooo much time with Landfall getting it just how I wanted. Shoutout to Dave @ Landfall, he is beyond patient.
It was quite expensive (to me anyways), but I just really loved the sound of this thing and felt it was a worthwhile investment for me. I paid I believe $380 USD. The black anodizing, CNC work and laser etching pumps the cost up pretty quickly 🙂
But I am extremely happy with it.

Nice. "guts" (final picture) ---> glory!
By the way, where did you buy that nice power switch? What are those terminal blocks? (I can't tell from my Mouser searches which ones to buy.)

I have 6N2P Reflector from 1965 on the way. Triple mica with silver grid.
Curious to hear whay they sound like. But yes, TFK sounds great.

I ordered the switch from Digikey. This was the exact one ULV7F2G11311
Looks like they have it at mouser as well (though the picture is not correct, but this is the part number) ULV7F2G11311 E-Switch | Mouser
The terminal blocks are the exact ones from the BOM.
691137710002 Wurth Elektronik | Mouser
691137710003 Wurth Elektronik | Mouser
I should mention one thing I strayed from the BOM on is using 10,000 hour 105C electrolytics. Not much of a price difference.
Also, for anyone wondering I did the mods mentioned in this thread or the other one (can't remember) to run 6DJ8 instead of PCC88

I think they are EV ... only EV is tripple mica with silver grid, Reflector factory.
Good stuff...I like them a lot.
If you see 6N2P-EV-OS...have a bash at them....they are very good.
When I receive them, I take a photo and upload it here. I hope I'll like them aswel.

Finished my build today with the James transformer. I think it sounds excellent! With the shields on it's really quiet and the soundstage is remarkable. The transformer is nice on spec, I measured AC under load 175v. I did some measurements at the tubes and they were within the expected ranges.
I used Philips PCC88 and 6N2P-EV voshod tubes. So, very happy with it and thanks to Oliver, Alan and Craig for making this possible.

Just as a suggestion, I'd trim those signal wires to be as short as possible, and I'd ditch the Philips valves...I felt they were quite veiled
Other than that, congratulations on completing the build.! Looks great [emoji3526]
Thanks Oliver, I may trim them, they are that long because I thought I would need to do more measurements and I needed room to flip the pcb. I thought it sounded quite alright so if you think they were veiled I am really looking forward to try some Telefunkens!
Yes, the Philips PCC88 are terrible valves IMHO.
I couldn't get them out quick enough.
I was looking at ebay but they seems expensive:

What tubes are you using?

The good ones aren't cheap.
I'm using 2x Siemens made Telefunken PCC88's and 1x 6N2P-EV-OS Reflektor.
But I have a few to choose from [emoji6]View attachment 886993View attachment 886994View attachment 886995
