GB for Salas Folded Simplistic Phono PCB

I bought the caps directly from Audyn, and was hoping for the copper foil, but they were out of stock.
I cannot recommend them for the fact the leads are really only for loudspeakers, quite thick. We expanded the holes from the prototype to take larger wire, but I will don't think they would fit. If you do get some, cut the leads and solder on a copper lead wire to it.
At some point, I plan on swapping both one at a time out to see for improvements or not.
I have a teflon .047 and a 2.2uf SIO cap.

Yes, I could see why the leads could be problematic. Trying to balance "Price to Performance", I'm thinking of trying the Jantzen Audio Superior Z-Cap for those two positions.
 
BTW, no more boards for sale.

I believe Salas and I want to see some more builds being done before doing another GB. But it will happen.

I still have about 8 remaining packages to send out. Mostly from the people who volunteered for the delay. I am still waiting for 2SK170s for them, the biggest hardship in getting this GB. Once arrived and sorted, I will send out.
Of course I still offer to do partial shipment if you just need to solder something.
 
Anyone in the EU knowing where to buy these particular heathsinks? I have a bunch with the same size regarding footprint but they are a bit higher (51mm) and the fins seems to be a bit shorter. If I can't find the proposed ones I will test these and monitor the temperature.
