Thanx Romy,

Yes, fitting "time produced" into the matrix is an important piece of the puzzle, don't think I mentioned that one. 

Holco resistors are a great example, are in my notes, along with other resistors, and caps, that have changed. 
But how to keep up with it? 
Without building amps everyday?
Staying in touch with someone who has, for their entire life is the only way I know... 

And  recommendations changing, due to something being "the best I know of" one week, then "hey this other thing works better with that thing" the next week... 

Or how do you list something like "silver?" 
Wire, or in caps, whatever, effects Sound, not just electrical flow, magnetics, corrosion... 
Despite the advertising hype, Sound effect is not always good, silver can ruin sound, make things too bright, thin, brittle, sharp...
But, I sure wouldn't put it in a "bad" column... 
Oil caps can make Sound sluggish, thick, blah, blah, if blah, blah... 
Mundorf Silver & Oil caps -- are they going to be the best or worst of both, or even worth trying?  In what position? 
(I love them, they make great, slightly warm, coupling caps for SETs, almost as detailed as the best teflons, but smoother, not harsh, glaring. 
Oil damps & smooths & silver is fast. Rich harmonics, very nice). 

Maybe useful to make some kind of look-up chart, but I can't think of how to organize it in a useful way yet, or I'd better organize my notes. 
I'm not done building, still have a way to go addressing my specific needs in DIY audio. 
Need to finish the horns, "teach them to sing,"  build individual amps for each... 
It seems like a long road from here... 

Robert
