All of my OCD is optional. Why I spend the extra time that I do on one detail but not another is questionable. Everything has to be so heavy duty or I am not happy. There is nothing worse to me than a cheap chassis. I usually stiffen bottom plates as a rule.
 
What is the solution on the picture?
You can say that, and what is the question?
I say figure it out!
And so you will know the answer as well...

I am sorry if I have stupid idea about impedance.
I read from some internet source,high input impedance and low output impedance is good in general.
If I use 10k L-pad and cinemag autoformer+6db,what is input impedance and output impedance?
 
I have the balanced unit. I want to be able to use two inputs: one XLR and one RCA. So I will use two relays per board. Instead of using the selector switch can a toggle switch be used to switch between the two inputs? How many pole toggle switch would be needed?
 
What are those test point posts called? Same question for the blocks that the transistors plug into. Do those use a set screw?
The test pins are Multicomp TEST-22. They are excellent for clipping your test leads to leaving you with a free hand to dial in the pots. Datasheet attached.

The IC sockets are Omron part number XR2C-0311-N. Invaluable for enabling you to correct errors (the number of times I’ve put things in backwards) and allow parts to be swapped between projects. As you install the IC in the socket try not to apply too much pressure and things can go sideways pretty quickly.

Trick to installing both flush with the PCB (without getting your fingers burnt) is to push down with cotton wool buds (Q-tips) while soldering (no screws required).
