Still available? Price?

Joined a buddy and his neighbor for some tastings yesterday. I brought the Four Roses Single Barrel KE with me. We also taste some rare Buffalo Trace, Old Scout, and Larceny

Been doing this all summer. Great for the riding lawn mower and the tractor. I can listen at reasonable volumes and don't to crank it up just to hear it. I can even do podcasts. If I don't get the Peltors on just right, they bump the APPs and they come a little loose. Not a big deal.

https://forum.bottlehead.com/index.php?topic=663.0 Tube Rolling Crack thread suggests this tube requires the Speedball upgrade to use. Apologies, I didn't see the login issues. Here is the meat of the original post. \ DROP-IN EQUIVALENTS Input Tubes (Original: 12AU7) 12AU7(A)(WA) ECC186...

Ordered a 10ft long set as a compliment to my 5ft Periapt so I can get a little more distance from my Bottlehead. CORE+ SERIES Cable Length:3m / 10ft 20$ Headphone Connector:ZMF - All ZMF with dual mini XLR Termination:Neutrik 4-Pin XLR Male Balanced (NC4MX) Splitter Type:Arctic splitter...

New to the thread and new to tube rolling really. ZMF Atticus, RME ADI-2, Bottlhead Crack, Deyan adapter on the way. Stock power tube as well as a Tung-Sol 6080. The RME is certainly neutral and has taken a little of the musicality and warmth away that I enjoy. What am I looking for in a...

Just spoke with Deyan about an adapter. Now what 6SN7 should I pick up, and where to get it from?

I might be interested. Depends on if the interior hole diameter is .250 (6.35) or larger ;). I bought a 6mm and it doesn't fit on my PEC Pot.

I have not had any issues with the RME or my other DAC while running audrivana

It is under $100 US for a lifetime. I couldn't imagine spending any more, but I am just playing FLAC files from a PC. No streaming and no network setup.

Correct, I believe he reused boxes that did not initially come with the tubes. I bought. Is it possible the top measurements are 9s and not 4s (1965/1983 vs 1465/1483) though its hard to tell. Lesson learned though. Buy NOS instead of used. I paid 15 for the 6080 and 40 for the 12AU7 black...

So I got used and not NOS. When I email him, I don't believe I mentioned I wanted NOS specifically. That's on me and not him.

These appear to have measurements, though I have no idea if they are legit or good.

How do I tell? I think I may have gotten used one...?

I just picked up a Tung Sol Chatham 6080 and a Tun Sol 12AU7 Black Glass from VacuumTubes.net. I've only spent a few hours with them, but liking them so far.

I messaged them through The US contact page, and just now sent a follow up directly to the email you linked. Thanks! Hopefully its not going to be a pricey fix.

No burning smell. I definitely didn't mean to use the wrong power supply, but it looks like I fried or tripped something that I can't. Attempting to factory reset doesn't do anything sadly, as the power button blinks red and it doesn't on enough to initiate the reset. Hopefully RME can fix it...

LCX power supply outs at 30v 1.25A

Soooo....... I was moving some things around in my office, packing my the Drop LCX that was replaced by my ADI-2. Somehow I managed to plug in the power supply from The LCX instead of the correct one. With the correct one plugged in, all I get is a blinking red around the power button. What...

I just picked up the 2019 version used and it should be here by Thursday. I am super excited!! The ADI will be replacing Drop LCX + Grace SDAC in my chain. PC(Audrivana)>>ADI-2>>BHC>>Atticus I am hoping the ADI can drive the Atticus decently during days I tinkering/upgrading the BHC. I...

Nice looking build. Spend a week or so with it stock, then consider adding the speedball. That way you can train your ear to hear the difference. Just a thought. I built mine about a month ago, added just the first small board.

Maybe I don't see it, but where does he summarize that it does not measure well? I do not know enough about measurements to read/interpret them myself.

That isn't a review of a Bottlehead Crack, so I am very confused by this post.

Pretty sure everyone here is going to suggest you build a Crack (Given this is the crack thread in the DIY forum). I know Josh Valour has done a video on tube preamps that can be had on Amazon for around $25. This would require you have a Solid State headphone amp already.
