"Luck In My Eyes" from k.d. lang's "Absolute Torch and Twang". You will know within the first few bars if your headphone/amp combo are up to the task.

Thanks for the detailed reply! I'll have to give polishing a try on whatever my next Bottlehead project is.

Great looking amp and I'm glad to learn that it sounds great as well. How'd you polish the top plate? And how'd you polish it so fast? Mine's primed and painted.

Mine arrived. The process of voiding the warranty begins: Different pot, different 'phone jack (locking Neutrik), and different coupling caps.

I got my shipping notice today. UPS alleges it'll be here Friday. Yay! Solder fumes!

Coffee roasting, espresso, photography. I've always wanted a wood lathe so I bought one to try turning a few Grado cups. Thus far I am making incredible quantities of wood shavings.

Between those three it would have to be the HD650s. However.... Over the weekend I finally made a set of wood cups for my SR60is. They also got a re-cable (canare quad) and damping via some Parts Express "dynamat" on each driver's magnet. I turned the cups to RS1 dimensions. Wow do they sound...

Give Art Pepper a try. His music is even more amazing (and sad in a way) given that his musical output is between stints in prison and while he was trying to come to terms with his heroin addiction. Quote: Originally Posted by unl3a5h3d I have recently become a pretty big jazz fan...

No drilling required and all of the parts are supplied. You supply the solder, soldering iron, wire strippers, screwdrivers, etc. and the sweat equity. You also have to assemble the wood box the chassis sits on and apply the finish of your choice. The white things are 3k ohm 10 watt...

Little Dot 1+ and the 5684 family of tubes. Get some new old stock GE 5684s and plug 'em in. Won't even need to open the case. Try it out with the 6J1s that come with it--you might find that you like the sound just fine.

Over on the Bottlehead forum Doc B. says they've had to double their order of top plates. Not bad at all. Looking forward to putting one together.

I absolutely don't need another amp. I ordered mine yesterday. I've built a few Bottlehead kits. Great folks to do business with and killer products.

I'd like to give them a listen.
