Well first off, Hi Germ and welcome to our nightmare! I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume that you're the same Germ that sent a preamp to Jim Heidinger? (He raved about it for weeks.)

As for lead dress and layout in general, I've tried to copy from pictures and then reason why the designer did it that way. So far I've built 4 Dumble clones copying routing, grounding, and layout from available images. All of them have been very quiet and performed pretty well. After seeing pics of Franscesca, I've decided to build an Express just because the layout and routing are so elegant. Since the whole design philosophy is different between the amps, I'm really curious to hear the noise level in the Express. (Who knows, it may motivate me to rethink my Dumbles. )

almost forgot. here's my newest preamp creation. yummy!!
