So I successfully built my amp on a piece of wood to test everything. Everything worked and sounded great on the first try.
I desoldered the transformers, the volume knob, the included RCA jacks, and the speaker jacks to mount the whole thing in an enclosure.
I added my own RCA input jacks and my own speaker wire connectors and ran leads to the center hole and one of the three ground holes from the 4-prong RCA jacks (left the other two holes on the ground plane open as I figure it doesn't matter?) and I ran single wires from each of the speaker jacks to the according pos. and neg. terminals on the PCB.
I ran individual wires from each of the volume knob pins to the appropriate pins on the board (Verified correct orientation).
I have remeasured the 4 measurement points after mounting and powering up and they all are exactly what they should be.
But I've got no sound now! With the volume all the way up I can hear a tiny bit from 92dB/w/m speakers very faintly (that were blasting when I built it on the wood), but I also hear the sound coming from one of the output transformers.
Any thoughts? I visually inspected all connections and components and everything looks fine. There are no errors as I didn't change anything from when it worked before. I fear in my desoldering I may have damaged one of the volume pot holes. Not sure what else it could be?
