Perfect, that’s good to know. I centered mine before installing, as I was unclear if they were shipped with correct adjustment.
Center position will only give you ~14 volts.
Challenge game show of 100% complete SE Vfet amplifier build is still open.
First five quickest Greedy Boyz titles are to win Good luck!
If this were a competition, I’d be that guy in the back trying to keep up (with his eyes closed)

I hope you mean 700F!?
naah
what's one letter of difference, between friends
Yes sorry I live in a celsius world. So typing C for temp feels natural@ kbergsson

For a nice round number, 700F works wonderfully for me using a fairly standard 63/37 solder. I use a larger mass tip and/or crank up the temperature a bit when soldering to a large ground plane or a big part like a speaker binding post with a relatively large mass.
If you're using lead free solder or a fancy silver solder... YMMV.
Enjoy!

My boards are now complete and waiting for the chassis to arrive. Hopefully tomorrow.
I did run into a minor hiccup. My parts kit included two extra 100Ω resistors for the output stage, and only a single 100kΩ resistor. Fortunately, I was able to locate a spare 100k resistor in my spare parts stash to complete the build. If others run into similar issues, then we may wish to bring this to the attention of the diyAudio store. If it was just me, then no worries.
