Yeah, thanks for sharing that. I've been looking for something like that. I think the learning process is what makes the DYI route fun.
Also, does anyone know if the Crack shipment went out last Friday? Doc B. mentioned it in the forum, but I didn't get any emails from Bottlehead. And queen doesn't seem to be replying. I'm wondering if mentioning "Crack" in my emails is causing them to go to her spam.
Re: hum from the SEX amp - use a lower impedance tap. Sensitive headphones can pick up some hum at the 32 ohm tap. That hum will be reduced greatly at the 8 ohm tap, and you will still have more than enough power.

Re: Mainline sample - I will read the reviews and certainly give it consideration. There is one thing that is terribly important about a review of one of our products - the review must be of a stock kit with no mods. It is pointless to review something other than the exact kit we send out. That of course doesn't include cosmetics. But no $50 caps, no $250 attenuators, etc. If there is to be a comparison of all three kits, this of course would hold true for all three kits.

Wow, this thread got kinda busy yesterday. Let me try to address some of the comments.

I have heard it said that the Bottlehead Crack is the best amp you can get for the HD600/650 (or at least one of the best) As I already have both of those phones and am planning to upgrade, would the same also be true of the HD700 and 800, or is there something about those that causes the Crack amp some problems? I was going to get a Lyr but the more I think about it, the more I think it would be fun just to build my own, plus Bottlehead is just across the water from me so I can go yell at em if it doesn't work out
