Well there is music ( of course )! Feeling a little "black & blue " and also a lot chagrined. Managed to populate the pcb's properly but majorly fouled up wiring the pcb's to the rca inputs and the speaker outs ( this should have been the easy part ). Only playing out of my phone now but this amp is resolving and delicate with the mids and highs. It is a good match with my OB Hestias as I figured it would be.
Of course many thanks to 6L6 who has put a lot of heart and soul into the ACA project and helped me with my mistakes. Thinking my pre amp will have lots more gain than my phone. Will report further once I get my whole system going in the main ACA thread.

Liking the amp very much. Works nicely with the new Emotiva PT2 pre. Given my architectural realities I am shifting to near field listening and the ACA seems well suited to that. Want to add a musical sealed 8" sub so that may be my next project. To tell you the truth I would like to build another ACA to gift or loan and share the Class A experience.
Hi! Just finished an ACA. Not getting any sound. LEDs both work but they stay on no matter which direction the front switch is set. I did think the switch was upside down as it was not as shown in the guide, and also had significant trouble soldering the swtich, which resulted in one of the tags being a tad looser than it was at the start. Not sure what to check first to troubleshoot, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Nothing glaringly obvious at first look… hmmm…
Have you done any of the step 56 troubleshooting? https://guides.diyaudio.com/Guide/Amp+Camp+Amp+V1.6+Build+Guide/5?lang=en

So, I just recently received my case for the ACA parts kit I had. Everything was going well until I went to screw the heat sink into the face plate. The holes didn’t line up. And the be honest the faceplate looks a lot bigger that I remembered. See attached. I Rotated the heat sink about 10 degrees so you can see it doesn’t line up. Am I missing something? I looked and looked and couldn’t see where I messed it up?

Ohhhhh..duh. Thank you! I can’t believe I missed that.wait... no need I do check: you are trying to connect the faceplate using the backside plate threaded holes, that's why!
just turn everything 180°
