I definitely need to spend more time playing through it but I can say that it has a nice clear as a bell clean sound - I have not had opportunity to turn up the volume since I have been working on it in the middle of the nights and the rest of the family is sleeping on the floor above me

Is there no concern or unwanted result with the V2 pin 7 measurement being so low? Also, to answer your question, I did not install the optional smoothing resistor - should I? What is its function? Also, I don't understand the instuctions where they say "make sure the resistor goes right on the pin as it is acting as a 'grid=stopper'. does it go directly in-line with the flying lead coming into pin 7, with the other side of the resistor attaching directly to pin 7?
thanks for your response.
