I'm James.
If I'd kept it I'd have been keen to try upping the bias, but for that you'd want a bigger trafo and heatsinking. I'm pretty sure you have also got a bunch of audio note silver phono sockets on there as well, it's a nicely made bit of kit. And it never hummed at all so the trafo must be well enough shielded.
Wish I could remember which chap sold it to me. Anyone recognise it?

Gave it the once over today and there's a quite a lot of "build up" on the sockets and which looks like it's in the sheath of the wires too.There's also some on the RCA sockets. Nothing a good clean won't fix.
I decided to replace them and get some of the best quality copper wire known to man!!!
Upping the bias may be possible BUT as it will require a new TF I leave that for now.
I may end up having to remove the TF to fit everything in so if I do I will go bigger on the TF too.

Me neither, but I'd design it so that it offered the ability to shunt as much as the rest of the circuit consumed.

The PFM B4 is a good bootstrap buffer stage as well no gain though
I replaced mine with 2 x Avondale Audio 821A boards (4x gain) and am very happy with it
