    Thanks Simon, will do.

    I stopped about 10pm with the MRS complaining of too much bass from JS Bach toccato and B minor!

    You're a bad influence Simon!



    This might take a while.

    LOL best of luck with the matching

    Mine is up and running now and sounding very nice, still early days yet though.

    ooh, DCA pro, nice purchase. I like the molex socket as well, that has to be quicker than clipping the leads.

    I've actually just built another one this week, R2 pcbs, numerical match on the input stage better than 1% everywhere else.

    With 2000 transistors to test (1K of each) the molex was essential.
    If I can't find a suitable matching set from that lot I may throw my hat at it.

    I just used a project bread board and clipped the leads on to some jumper wires easy and quick to just plug in the transistor
    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400-points...item19d27245e6

    I printed off A4 sheets with squares numbered from 400 to 450 for 337 and 327 .
    after a frustrating time of testing and retesting in a room where the temp was not stable I found that 1-2 deg change in room temp moves the HFE up and down by up to 20 points so I ended up with a closed room with a stable temp of 22 degC and wore gloves.
    I went thousands of transistors and found that most of them where in the 300 to 399 range so a waist really
    Its a sole destroying job so best of luck
