Many thanks for your comments of appreciation. In fact, I wanted to lay the inside wiring as well as boards in a proper and orderly way. But paucity of time is a big hurdle!

I love what you did with that project , back in the early 1980's I assembled a few kits from one of the magazines I used to subscribe to ...... I don't think mine ever looked as good as your project came .... It's a great looking unit ...

In reply to Philip.

The selector has an option for Aux in, Mic in or USB/FM board in. That is what I referred to. Yes the HE referred to by you is a powerful man with a lot of stuffed knowledge and experience and that is why I call him the expert always! Yes, I bow in complete regard and respect to this genius personified man!

1. Please help me more here - Wired the power supply to the USB/FM and audio input via the selector switch. 2. As for HIM, his focus remains razor sharp at any particular article or comment. He without failure gives credit where it is due. Whenever his watchful eye catches a mistake, he without delay points it out, justifying with a boost of his deep knowledge and vast experience in matters electronics. His sophisticated tools of trade always leave me wondering what it is I am doing in the electronics repair field. Its the kind of paraphenalia I will never lay my hands on, leave alone setting my eyes on it. His immense contribution here has taught many of us and never goes unnoticed. His eyes of scrutiny never give grammatical errors a chance to escape. He is often EARLY BUT critical.

Good Job! Sir
Assembling a device is a very exciting task when the results exceed our expectations. This reminds me of the days when sound systems used to be assembled for auto-rickshaws, and of assembling CRT TVs.

Happy to see that you still managed to find time to create such a magnificent amplifier with all nice added audio options!
The audio performance of this assembled amplifier no doubt must be excellent! The Missus already enjoyed using this 350 watt rms amplifier for about 2 hours which is a good sign!
