Graham thanks for posting the parts list
Could I suggest a few mods
Freeze the panes for the title row so it remains visible when you scroll down
Centre all of the text in all columns except "B" which loos best to the left as it
is
get rid of the blank columns as it saves having to scroll right across
For me the scroll up down side to side doesent work I have to drag the square, could be my laptop or it could be an scrolling option has not been ticked when the document has been protected
It would be useful to put the wattage of the resisters

On the parts list I agree with your choices except for C1, C5 I cant comment on the Panasonic FC in this position as I haven't tried them, I do use FCs a lot when replacing caps on my Reel2 Reel players and they are excellent and cheap, on my build I ended up with Nichicon Muse KZ 100uf/100v in there the Gold tune and Silmic 2 also sounded very good here.
interesting comment on using the silver mica in place of the Polystyrene
I also matched up all my Transistors with an atlas meter and agree that a stable temperature makes for more reliable results (paradise paranoia ), it certainly cant do any harm and I think it will help with overall channel balance as both amps will have approx. the same current gain, but you obviously have to buy more parts to be able to get good matches. Incidentally I found the output transistors the most difficult to get a decent match on
Might be an idea to have a stock build and an ultimate build spread sheet

Hi Alan
Yup KZ 100uf 100V sound superb in that spot.
I used a mixture of Mica and styrene in my build to avoid the house soundy type effect.
I prefer to mix and match a little to avoid a dominant sound signature and as I said HF stability matters. Mica’s are superb in the HF department so I sprinkled some in.
We seem to have the same take (OCD) on transistor matching. Maybe the stereo elusion is enhanced having two boards electrical properties closely matched.
It can't hurt.
Some think that such things don’t much matter which is fine.
Each person needs to make their own choices based on what they think is important.
But that’s the big advantage of DIY.
Personal choice and total control.
AHHHH the paradise effect.
