nevermind :P

If you can do that, you probably don't need the manual at all. :P     I just posted the link here because it is very hard to get the manual, I asked a few times and never received it so I tried to find the manual on the internet.   It's probably better to get the manual directly from...

  If you have lost the manual it's hard to get it back. But I found this torrent online you could use. magnet:?xt=urn:btih:1446c8b4919fe5dc3287a7ac2e629cf0f32dc7ba&dn=bottlehead%20crack%20manual.7z   I checked it and it looks like it's the same as far as I can remember.

Whats wrong with the china amp? I don't see anything in particular wrong with the amp. Is it just the quality of the components? And where is a choke left out? How do you know/see? @Jony Maybe consider just buying...

Voltage regulator is an IC, right? ;p Anyway, try the tape on the casing, maybe use some good glue that won't be affected by warmth.     Btw anyone still have some idea for the channel imbalance?

@snowlune Yea in this case I'd also suggest to just insulate it. Try using insulation tape. It's pretty thin and should do the trick. I'm not sure how it would be called in you country but the stuff usually comes in red, blue, and brown greenish colour, is rubbery and stretchy.   However i'm...

  Buy something called a solder sucker, or solder wick (goat wick) And make sure to let the IC cool down between attempts. I'm not sure how long you tried but if I recal correctly overly heating the IC's can damadge them.

I have a question regarding low volume listening. I almost Always listen at low volums with my x2's. ATM I'm listening to the lowest possible volume possible without channel imbalance at 1x gain.   Is it possible to set the gain at e.g. 0.5x? Or would it be a better alternative to buy another...

What? Sibilance? I'm very sensitive to sibilance. The X2's are not sibilant to me at all, in fact they have a nice dip in the fqr that suits my sensitive ears well. And I have owned two X2's both sibilance free

Well reading This I lost all my reasons to start using tidal. I am using the trail for a day and I do like it, however when it moves to America it will become yet another money grabbing firm who hardly listen to the individual. Especially since some rapper is buying it. I kinda liked that the...

Well since I received no reply from bottlehead whatsoever  I started looking around again for the manual.   If anyone else lost their manual and can't find it online I have found a torrent for the files including speedball...

Yea i have already contacted them. I just tought it would be faster this way.   Can't download because I don't have an account. I ordered from massdrop at the time.   Anyway I understand that you are not officially allowed to share the documents because of copyright. It would explain why I...

Hi,   I have lost my crack+speedball manual. Could you guys send one to me. You can PM. It would be a great help!   Oh and for those who are interested. It doesn't work perfectly with the X2 unless you don't care about the bass being a bit loose. The rest of the sound is great! X1 seems to...

FiiO's cables are very nice too. I recommend it.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately upping the budget is not possible since we all have a set budget. Anyway I went with the shp-2000 since it should be decent and it's dirt cheap at 8 euro's
