Ruby Amp layout check

Hi everyone, I did a layout for the ROG ruby amp all by myself (super proud cuz it's my first lol). Can anyone check if this is correct before I solder the components onto vero? I saw an earlier post here with a layout for the Ruby, but I wasn't sure if it was correct since it had the input going to the Source of the MPF102 instead of the Gate.

Still in the process of learning, so bear with me if I ask dumb questions :P

In the orientation you've shown, your JFET goes D-S-G (top to bottom), so your input is currently connected to the source - it should be to the gate.  So move your input label down a row, then swap the 1M5 and 3K9 resistors.  Then move the bottom lead of the first 47nF cap up a row.  The rest of it looks OK to me.

Thank you!
