I'd wired in the train of 5 Shottky SMD diodes , the wrong way round so
no biasing, doh!


So far good output level match and sinuosity with no load ,with 1KHz
input at 60% mains ,and reasonable biasing DC levels match between L and
R channels with original preset setting. Will add 8R loads and repeat
these tests and adjust bias while still at 60% mains ,interim, before
going up to 100% mains


Required 6 diodes of the SM" 2 in 1 pack BAT54S type I used, not 5, to
get the right bias zone for the preset, 100% mains and stable wiht load,
just quality of sound check to go
