PSU

Hi, I wrote a mounting layout for the PSU, I wanted to know if the CL60 thermistors are positioned well, is the first inserted on the neutral at the input, or should it be inserted on the Line?
is the positioning of the Capacitor from 0.0033 uF right between L and N?
The second output thermistor connects a PSU ground to the chassis .. is that right?
or is the second thermistor not needed?

(I attach diagram and datasheet of Toroidal)
Thank you.

Did you start with the "bias" pot at midpoint? Have you turned it at all?

Post some well-lit, in focus, pics of your boards.

For future ease, please note the exact part from the schematic you're measuring at or across. Example - "I measure 0VDC across R18 from the schematic attached."

That will leave little-to-no room for misinterpretation and can help you reach a solution much more quickly.

What fun’s it’s been building separate mono devices. I matched all resistors but used the DIYAS mosfets...did no matching. Bought fets from punkdawg matched at 11ma. 300va antek audio torids. DIYAS ps boards coming in a smidge over +/- 28vdc...loaded +/- 24.22vdc. Bias set to .480...runs 50c...both builds are dead quiet!
Of course there was drama upon firing up...no blue light! Both leds were in backwards. Also, was twisting away at offset watching bias...thought I was really screwed...
I’m waiting for a pair of dirty weekends to use with these wonderful sounding amps. I will alternate Nutube-B1 & Wayne’s 2018 pre to see which I prefer.
Great thanks to all that build this stuff & to Mr. Pass for sharing his knowledge!!
