Very clean build sir. As a newcomer myself to the Crack club, I'd like to wish you a warm welcome. Happy listening!
A bottle of Laphoraig Quarter Cask will elevate a listening system to astounding levels
I'm looking forward to seeing what you plan on adding next.
Very clean build sir.
love my crack and hd600 so much I never come here anymore
Woo hoo, order finally shipped! Still have lots of time for reading on how to build this thing...
So I've been listening to my Crack+Speedball with my HD 650's for the past few days and I am truly astounded at how good my cans sound now. I was using the 02 + ODAC before this and they don't even compare. They're leagues apart. I'm also rolling with Tung Sol 5998's and CBS Hytron 5814a's. The sound just became so lifelike and the soundstage opened up immensely. In particular, in recordings with just vocals and acoustic guitar, it sounds as if the artist is singing and playing in the same room with you. It's uncanny. As far as separation of instruments goes, everything is extremely clear. Each instrument sounds as if it's in its own little "zone." Even songs with 6 or 7 different instruments, you can hear them distinctly apart. I am extremely happy I built the Crack. Not only does it sound good, part of the fun is in modifying it and rolling different tubes. If you're thinking of buying the Crack, you won't regret it, it's brought new life to my music listening experience!
I love my Crack w/Speedball. I think it is the ultimate amp for the HD600. Now these big ass output caps people are adding. What changes in the sound? I am afraid to mess with it.
