Up for a reluctant sale is my Bottlehead Crack built by myself.
This Crack includes the Speedball upgrade as well as the following:
- Alps potentiometer upgrade
- Black aluminum volume knob upgrade
- Vampire RCA input jacks upgrade
- Vampire RCA output jacks upgrade (this Crack can be used as a preamp)
- Triad choke upgrade
- Last PSU capacitor WIMA 2.2uF bypass cap upgrade
- Cree diodes upgrade
- Output caps upgraded to Mundorf M-Caps 100uF and bypassed with Mundorf Supreme 1uF caps
- Rewired using Tubedepot fabric copper wire
- Output film caps mounted on turrets
Comes with the following:
- Stock 6080WC (Phillips?) tube
- Bendix 6080WB winged tube
- Stock 12AU7A tube (not sure about manufacturer on this one)
- Siemens ECC82
- Millard CV4003
- Garage1217 12AU7 to 6SN7 adapter
- Electro Harmonix Gold Pin 6SN7EH
- Sylvania short bottle 6SN7W
- Sylvania 6SN7GTB
I don't have a tube tester, but all these tubes have low hours and sound fine. My favorite combo is the Bendix 6080 with the Siemens 12AU7.
Comes with stock power cord (not pictured)
Now, there can be a hum issue with this amp. In my home with my headphones, it is dead quiet. In other homes with other headphones, there can sometime be a hum. Due to this, I am selling the unit AS IS / for parts. Again, in my home it works perfectly and sounds wonderfully with Sennheisers, but the price is super low and as such I will accept no returns on this unit.
Honestly, even to strip it for parts, this is a great deal. I'd like $400 + shipping for the whole package.
