I think w got a used built but discarded board in the loft. I’ll have a look. Probably took the boutique caps off it to use elsewhere.
Hi TIm, if you can track it down I might well be interested.

Paul, if you don't get hands on the starfish of Tlm let me know. I will let you know when I receive my boards...
Its not in the loft. Might be in the understairs cupboard
I am interested in a board if you are prepared to part with one.My boards arrived and I didn't store them in a safe place yet
Some progress:
The picture shows the boards for one channel: the green PCB is the preamp board and the blue PCB is the 7x regulator board. Everything works, the sound is very good, even cleaner and smoother than the starfish I got from sq225917. I fitted UKZ 47uF caps on the power rails, Promisic golden 47uF as feedback, RN60 resistors, 2.2uF SMR films as input caps, 10uF tants as output caps, vintage Philips BC550/560 transistors. The regulator board has a CLC at the output (10uF - 100uH - 22uF), other than that it's a standard datasheet circuit with 10uF tants on the adjust pins (layout from TO but populated with 4x 317 and 3x 337). Output caps are NHG. Between these and the UKZ on the preamp board there are MRS25 resistors with 1R, so I decided for the most simple solution:

I love to have a complete pcb set .Paul, if you don't get hands on the starfish of Tlm let me know. I will let you know when I receive my boards...
I have a built starfish in a 32.5 case if you are interested...I love to have a complete pcb set .

It is certainly more Naimy than the 32.5, mind you the 32.5 had been tweaked with an ALWSR per board. Starfish has everything in spades, drive and beat and slam...if those are the right words...just more Naim.very interesting how does it compare to a 32.5 then? Never heard one only tinkered with 821 and NJ 321,729 and RSL boards.
