    Farnell, Mouser, rs or little diode for parts. Other than that stick to single item specialists, ie a guy who only does Toshiba jfets.

    Agreed, although Little Diode is rather expensive. I would add Cricklewood for rare / obsolete parts.

    Well, the Chinese diodes arrived today and seem to be fine.

    All the soldering is finished and it's in the power line to the Amplifier and phonostage.

    I used an old plastic box I'd bought for another project a while back. The capacitors were a bit to big so I've improvised lol.

    It'll be out of sight so shouldn't matter. I will swap the box at some point. Thanks to the OP for the idea to build one of these. As my first ever project it went well.

    My DC blocker PCB has arrived from Sjostrom audio. Looking forward to building this. I get both constant and intermittent transformer hum due to DC, which caused my now-sold balanced mains unit to buzz rather audibly (was pretty much silent in my old house). All parts including the case are totting up to around £65. Am using the same parts as the design, with a polycarbonate case & a couple of LAPP cable glands, and a ferrite clamp on the output lead. Due to ease more than anything else, will be wiring it using Supra LoRad 2.5.

    Cheers. Ah that was the wrong link, I need a bit more height for the box, but will be similar.
