  Thank you for this information, I guess that leaves me with the choice between Valhalla and the BH, the Valhalla just seem like the safer way to go DYI wise :\ 
I am looking for something that will really brings out the bass capabilities of the HD650.. I heard them with Naim DAC-V1 it was freaking amazing, only if I was richer
 
Since the Naim is a SS do you think it will be hard to find a Tube amp with same sound signature bass wise? 

I'm using 5998 +E80CC Amperex PQ on Crack and Ultron ECC85 6AQ8 on Aune T1- the bass and soundstage is jaw dropping ,it lead me to swapping resistors on Crack so I can get closer to ideal 75v..I would say it's all in the tubes

same here ,unlike grey RCA ,black TS bottle 
I prefer pairing  A1834/6AS7G with 6SN7 instead of 5998

I have tried my 6SN7 with 5 different tubes , Chatham 5998, famous GEC 6AS7 brown base and Winged C 6H13C for example and non of them i was happy with

Have anyone seen this tube before? I got it from ebay last night. looks quite rare

 

[Loquah]

Nice looking tube! What model number?

 

[Mahdi8]

It's advertised as Mullard 6as7g but can't fine any details of it

 

[Loquah]

It certainly looks right. I wonder if Mullard made it or if it's a re-badge.

How does it sound compared to your other 6AS7G?

Well, how does it sound?

 

[GrindingThud]

Looks like an RCA rebrand... Is there an octagon on the glass with 6AS7G in it somewhere? Nice looking box too!

 

[Mahdi8]

Haven't receive it yet Just bought it on ebay last night. should receive it in 2 days or so will update on how it sounds when I receive it

 

[MoatsArt]

A rebrand, no question. Made in USA. How much did you pay?

 

[Mahdi8]

$23 delivered so it's cheap

Hello Everyone,
 
Looking for some assistant with my crack right now, appreciate any help.
 
On page 19 of the manual, it said connected the black wire from terminal 4 to terminal 22L and right below it the instruction said connect terminal 4 to terminal 14U.  So, I left terminal 22L open is that a problem?
 
Second problem is the resistance check, most of the terminal value matches up and others left me worry.  Terminals with * value I got OL from my multimeter and on terminal 13 instead of 270K ohms I got OL, so going to resolder that terminal.  But where it said RCA jacks: Center pin, I can't figure out where that is?
 
Thanks for any inputs.

Changing from 14U to 22L is completely fine and will leave 22L open. This should actually lower the noise floor.
 
You should definitely be getting within about 10% for all resistance checks so definitely resolder as you suggest.
 
The centre pin on the RCA is the stalk that sticks out the middle of the back of the RCA terminal. You will have a solder tab at the base of the RCA near the chassis plate and you'll have a hollow stalk sticking out of the middle of the RCA socket. I can send a pic if this doesn't make sense so let me know.
 
Good luck finding the culprit!!

Can anyone send me the PDF of the Crack manual? I'm helping another Head-Fier get ready for a customised build and need to know the various capacitor locations and sizes.
