I must be getting old, cause they look as good as any playmate of the month pics...
Especially since I can actually get my hands on these :icon_biggrin:

Thanks for giving us the tools we need to make this stuff easier,,, and at a price that makes them a no-brainer choice

What's the record for most orders for one specific part on any given day??...I think you're about to set a new one :thumbsup:

Just noticed something.     

The boards each have a square through hole pad (or 2) on them. Is that for marking a ground connection?

I don't know what it is
It looks like it is on the negatives of two caps on the power supply board and on pin one of the relay socket

It's common practice for some board manufacturers to somehow identify pin 1 on standard IC boards. The square pad is the identifier on this relay board. The relays Doug uses calls pin 1 the positive side of the relay coil.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

Doug,

What size are the turret holes drilled?  I've had problems in the past buying boards where they were drilled the right size, but the through hole plating added enough material they didn't fit, and I need to order some boards for other projects that use your turrets.

I don't know the exact hole size but my short turrets drop right in and still have a tiny bit of wiggle room
