Hey guys, what tubes would you consider good for rolling to partner with the HD650's?
Hey guys, what tubes would you consider good for rolling to partner with the HD650's?
I had a load of tubes with my Crack and if you want to pull out a lot of detail but still maintain the warmth of the HD 650 my favorite by a good margin was the Tung Sol 5998 / Tesla 12AU7 combo...it's amazing and worth the cost IMO. If you want even more detail and are willing to spend a bit more the Mazda CIFTE is a detail monster but a bit leaner than the full sound of the Tesla.
If you like really smooth mids and nice full soundstage the Tung-Sol 12AU7's are no slouch and relatively inexpensive on ebay.
Hey thanks for replying, just ordered the Tesla and am looking forward to it. I'm kind of having a hard time finding the 5998 in the UK, is there anything similar you can recommend?
Thanks!

Would it be possible to add a preamp output to the Crack? Like how the Magni 2 Uber does so I can pass the audio through to my desktop speakers, since the DAC I use only has one output.

If possible, how difficult would it be?
Hi,
I have lost my crack+speedball manual. Could you guys send one to me. You can PM. It would be a great help!
Oh and for those who are interested. It doesn't work perfectly with the X2 unless you don't care about the bass being a bit loose. The rest of the sound is great!
X1 seems to have a little less trouble with the bass and this amp. Don't know why tough.

You should be able to download it off your account from the Bottlehead website.
Have you insulted the wires? They look very close to the heatsinks which will create a short if they come into contact.
