Hi... Thank you very much. But again I missed the deal because I'm outstation travelling for four weeks and just got out from deep forest. *facepalm. Anyway, Could you give another similar deal, or any particular keyword to search because there's too many tube with different looks.   Just...

Oh crap... Missed the deal for these pair: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pair-Tung-Sol-12AU7-12AU7A-ECC82-Vacuum-Tubes-Very-Strong-/321609528392?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item4ae16bf448&rmvSB=true&nma=true&si=dUjiHdRDBeloa%252BQ0zXgDQGEZTlQ%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557  ...

I mistakenly read your post as "... so I can sell my wife for a reasonable price..."

Wow, thank you very much and that's a nice deal. Actually, my maximum budget for input tube is $40 but $31.25 inc shipping is really a good deal for me. So, does it need to be 12AU7A, or any 12AU7, or any ECC82. Confused with tubes...   Anyway, what is your main input tube? And how many Crack...

Any suggestion for the replacement cum upgrade tube? Within $30 can get an upgrade or not in e-bay? I can't find suggested thread for this tube, unlike the output tube.

Guys, care to suggest input tube replacement for my old 12AU7A? I need to figure out what's wrong with my Crack which I ask previously here:   http://www.head-fi.org/t/476650/crack-bottlehead-otl/6240#post_11080323   Kindly help me because it's been so long I don't listen from my Crack and...

Guys, my Crack got some hissing sound at the left side. Usually when I turn on the amp, it hiss only for few second than silent. However recently instead of disappear, the hissing became worst. I changed the large tube but no luck. I don't have the small tube to try with. Can faulty small tube...

@tdockweiler, I owned both and none is better to be honest but I prefer ODAC sound than Modi. In price tag, Modi is better. Not to mention better looking. :p Sound wise (personal preferences) I prefer ODAC. More detail, cleaner and better separation. However Modi give more power to bass section...

Duh, show off aren't you mate? I envy you. Argh! Nice job you have there. BTW, the carbon finished is it carbon sticker? The thing is ****s happened as below: 1. Base perfectly built. Few month later, the glue fall off it self. 2. Reglue the only part that needed. Still got a little gap but...

My base worst. :( Likely will get a new wood to re-build again.

Perhaps you got confused with my writing. Haha. Sorry. Yeah, onboard headphone jack referring to the 3.5mm thingy.   In other word: Modi, ODAC, UD100, Benchmark, Aune T1 = Not so much differences between these. UD100 vs laptop 3.5mm = ****** yeah, so much different, and improvement.

Are you replying to me? Because I was answering Poimandres regarding UD1xx and ODAC. And as for the Cmoy, used to meet  him and ask about O2 amp and he said they don't bring in DIY stuff. Few month later, got Cmoy in their product list. So... No comment. And again if you replying me, what is...

As Jaben said, we don't bring DIY stuff so I don't think Jaben will bring in their rival stuff. Direct contact Stoner Acoustic and they quite fast. BTW, Owned UD100 and ODAC. I think the only UD100 problem for me is no RCA output and tend to be harsh. YMMV, UD100 have more energy and tighter...

When I still own Aune T1, T1 > Bravo Ocean > HD600 is better than Aune T1> HD600.

Yup... You're right about that.

When they not compared side by side, I heard minimal differences. It's not that I can't live either with UD100, Modi or ODAC. But when they compared side by side, I say it's pretty obvious. Mind set or ear set, say whatever you want. My expectation is ODAC perform worst than Modi but end up I...

Oh lord... That's a fat caps! BTW, is it okay if I use floor coating paint to paint my base? It's like a varnish too when applied on wood.

Detail, clean sound, and wider with airy music. I agree in EDM, Modi perform better unless you can find a tube that can tame ODAC brightness. BTW, I agree that ODAC is bright but I don't think it's dry. In fact they sound very musical IMO. For your kind of genre, I think Modi is the best DAC...

I don't know what is your sound preferences but I would pick ODAC anytime. Modi is a good DAC for it's price but IMO ODAC is better. I did post about my impressions for these two DAC few pages back. But I damn agree Modi looks better than ODAC.   BTW, I understand how your wallet become thin...

May I know why Modi?

Bottlehead Crack DAC pairing comparison:   E-DAC: - Noticeable airy in vocal oriented song. Natural timbre and brighter than Modi but not thin. Sometimes can be too bright when involving sharp sound instrument (eg; cymbals) and due to the recording it self. Definitely clean and detail than...

Discontinued... :(

And came with nice price too. But too bad not available at my country. Anyway, is this a Japan brand?   Comparable? Wow, that's great! I like how GR07 design and size. It's small and looks comfortable and got a very good feedback. Plus, I can get this unit locally...

Is there any IEM that is on par with HD600 but with lower price? Maybe within $100-150? Plan to let go my Amperior because I prefer Shure SE 215 when I'm traveling due to it's size.

I always ask and wondering, how does Crack sound with Modi or Odac. I buy both to answer my own question. I think it's my end game already. But Modi mainly connected for my Crack due to it's better appearance.
