Sometimes in my crazy little daydreams I picture a post-apocalytic world where it will be up to us guys to take what little resources are left and help rebuild. This guy might just be the guy to have on our side.
For those familiar with term "rats nest" when using PCB CAD software it makes more sense. It's missing the part where you place components in a methodical way to make both efficient and theoretical sense.
I really don't understand what's so confusing though. Why wouldn't it work?
I don't think electricity cares which way it's pointed? I mean is there some sort of problem where sparks just fly out of leads?
:shrug:

But who knows, It could all be a joke!
please enlighten me what these rules for efficient and theoretical sense are?

It could be something as simple as not placing a critical component that is heat sensitive close to a component that produces large amounts of heat. Just because a component is next to another on a schematic does't mean it should be placed that way in real life.

Well yes there is. In the US and I suspect everywhere else in the world by now, electronic products go through a process called HiPot testing. This is to see at what voltage breakdown will occur and arcing happens. Things are designed in such a way to avoid this, but there's a limit.

I just have a problem with someone new to a forum coming in and act like they are a pro builder then show us something like that.
Although it does somewhat look like a Bruno prototype.
Be it ever so humble....
You will find people are a lot more willing to help you if you drop the pretense and ask questions rather than acting like you know it all.
I'll let you know when I have a question.
Acting like a pro builder? I don't think I've ever given off that impression.

True enough I wouldn't gig with that first amp I built. However, there is tons of space in that chassis. If arcing was going to occur to the degree that you're worried about pcb's and turrets boards would be far more at risk. It's not that big of a concern though. If the part is working within spec sparks aren't going to fly.
That's not to say I haven't made sparks fly. But those are generally the types of things that after it happens the first time you put up a little warning sign on your work space...did you put in the electrolytics the right way? is there a set of pliers across your heater rails?
