I wasn't scolding I was hoping to help. Get in the habit of using the DMM to test connections, check wiring, check components, etc.. Seriously, the DMM is your friend. When in doubt, put a meter on it and prove it right or wrong.
The 5f1 is pretty simple, it may not seem that way to you right now but it will one day. It's possible to put one together and have it work without knowing any electronics but it doesn't always go that way. The positive side of the problems you are having right now is, you are going to learn more than if it had worked first time.
Good luck and please keep asking questions. The amp will sound great and if it ever does have a problem, you will know how to troubleshoot it and fix it yourself. What you need to be concerned about is the urge to build another amp as soon as you finish this one.

It was a joke. And I know how to use my DMM. But thanks for the concern.

Maybe it's me, and certainly it's hard to intuit intent from an internet post, but you've posted a couple of replies to my posts that just read a little schoolmarmish/ talking-downish to me.

I know the 5F1 is simple, and I'm not a bit worried about the amp working. It's certainly more simple than the 6G16 I built last fall. The problem is that I am simple too.
