Nice looking unit, N-set. I also go out of my way to use part leads only in lieu of extra wire whenever possible. I really don't care what it "looks like" on this score. At least your wires are all nicely dressed. You will find out soon enough if they are "properly" routed.
May I ass-u-me that the electrolytics that appear to be lying down on the Cu ground plane are actually raised up on some sort of di-electric stick-um? And what are the little "blocks" on some of the BlackGates? "Dampers"? Have you tried fine Cu screen instead of plate in thermally-challenged areas?
You have probably already heard this before, but for PS chokes, the better Hammond are not only reasonably priced and easy to get, but they are consistently silent.
Good luck with early trials. I always figure I'm ahead if it doesn't blow a fuse or a tube, and/or simply melt down the first time I flip the switch...
Air caps appear to be un-warped...
God... we sound like (gasp...) DIY'ers!
