    I have the MKII version of this amp and K702s.  IMOH, they are a good mate for each other.

    Quote:   Thanks Rob......and to think I was trying to give this amp away after robbing the tubes from it!!   The tubes alone are worth at least 5X what I paid for it.  @jaymanna over on AK told me it is a rare amp, so I decided to get it running safely again.

    Quote:   I have the 6.3V version and it works fine.  Somebody reported receiving the 12V version and it didn't work with the Crack.  I'm not sure why they even sell a 12V version that you plug a 6SN7 into that has a 6.3V heater filament.  Maybe someone else can explain this.
