I just acquired a pcb for a parallel lm4780 x2 12ax7 tube buffered amp.
I need a little help getting the best bang for my buck. Can any pcb layout gurus chime in on which components to choose that will dramatically change the sound signature on the IC level? Much appreciated, thanks for looking. Schematic and Parts list are as follows:
