Crack;Bottlehead OTL
I have a few of the stainless steel top plates that I had made left available for sale ( have sold 6 already ), so if you're handy with woodworking it wouldn't take you much to make up wood side panels to suit. PM if you're interested.- LoweArt

Crack;Bottlehead OTL
It's a really easy kit to build even for a first timer and the instructions are spot on if you follow it to the letter. If you get stuck there's the Bottlehead forums and even Doc B. will come to the rescue if needed ! I've got more expensive/elaborate amps than the CRACK, but I...- LoweArt

HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.
Like many here, I'm enjoying the delights of the HE500 but finding that I'm "fighting" with the thick headphone cable. Have recently ordered the Double Helix Molecule cable which I hope will not only solve the cable curl/flex issue, but also add some subtle improvements to an already nice...- LoweArt

Yes I've experienced similar, but Fang has tried to keep me informed. I ordered my HE-500's on the 4th of June and received my tracking number for FedEx shipping last night. What aftermarket cable are people using on these Cans ? I was thinking Stefan Audio Art's E- series or Double...- LoweArt
