That’s very nice looking, hope it sounds as good. 😎
The feet are very interesting, are they drawer handles cut in 1/2? 😕

Thanks officeboy 🙂
They are hooks turned upsidedown, I picked them up from Bunnings (a Australian hardware store).
Well here it is, the P/S got connected on the weekend with only the small problem of me using fast blow instead of slow blow fuses (that was a frustrating half an hour 
) Turning it on there are no pops or crackling and with no humming at all 😀
I have to say this was a well worth while project, and in performance it beats the hell out of my Sony amp, especially in the lower frequencies🙂

Win against Sony amps are not problem - they are crazy 
. But crazy too is to see this approximately 300 VA trafos without any protection on DC side - it is " small handgranat " 🙂 .

Is an 160 VA power supply that is often recommended for GC
just a mere stun grenade by comparison ?
What sort of protection on the DC side do you recommend ?
Cheers

Most people who built gainclones (me included) have no protection on the DC side.
Those transformers looked quite beefy at first sight! (pictures can decieve quite easily!) and i was gonna comment on it, but 300VA is not crazy huge. Still, plenty enough for a GC.
Good job by the way.
I would be more concerend about the signal carrying wires lying on top of a transformer and then passing immediately underneath all those diodes!
