Bio: I am really a novice builder relative to most out there and more as a hobby but I guess you can say a serious hobby. I have built the Ultimate amp starting from a JCM800 with power scaling, extra gain stage, aux power supply, and modified to take any octal power tube based on Kevin's works. This amp is really the latest and greatest for me and galactic grounding from TUT book and am extremely happy with the build. Ultra quiet and sounds awesome the way I like it.

Thos thread is interesting regarding the wire type and insulation. On my previous build awhile back I used only Teflon wires. I like to use it simply because you don't need to worry about overheating the insulation and it folding back at times. The downside is as Kevin mentioned you need proper wire strippers specifically made for stripping Teflon and those are quite expensive. Also when I twisted the heater wires the insulation is quite slippery and it was very difficult for that part of the wiring. Other parts were fine.
