I'm actually really really impressed with the combo of the Crack and the Grado SR80i. Looking at the impedance, you'd think they'd be a terrible match but I'm lovin' Eidolon by Rishloo. Holy prog!
The stock power tube does best with the Grados, having that "warm, gooey tube sound" that so many people love. The 5998 is too close to solid state.
As for the preamp tube, I thought I'd like the gold lion best with a wider soundstage and good bass slam and smooth mids, but the RCA clear top is really surprising.

Hello guys,
This forum is great and very helpful. I have another question about my RCA sockets though. They have lost all the thread on their screws and will not work anymore so I want to replace them. Where I live the only ones I can get seem to be the Furutech FP-900 and I want to know if they will work with the crack
Oh but my crack is pretty new, I got it half way through last year (ordered it) so hopefully it will be the right size otherwise I can just drill the hole to the right size.
The problem with the RCA jacks is that as far as selection goes I kinda have to buy these ones because in South Africa I can't get hold of anything else. Are they a complete waste of money? Unless somebody has a suggestion. But thanks for the help.

Figure it out yet?
I'm looking to try new Tubes for my BHC, can anyone link me to a site where i can find some?
Cheers
My best advice is to hunt and peck for deals on ebay. Start cheap with an old stock tung sol 12au7, still one of my favs, that can easily be found for under $20 and some mil spec 6080's, which can be had for <$10 each. Ramp up from there if need be.
Also, always bear in mind that if the cost of your crack, speedball, mods, tubes etc. starts to approach the cost of a mainline, you have gone off the trail and into the weeds.
