Please send me a pm if anyone in the Los Angeles area is willing to assemble me a bottlehead crack for $50 or a $40 newegg gift card + $18 pre-paid amex card. I will of course be providing the amp kit.

Panels have arrived! A large stack of Cracks will be shipping today.

Thanks for the update Doc. Holiday crack is on the way.

Looks great!  Mine should ship with the next batch.  Are those right angle adapters on the interconnects?

That looks great! Would love to hear your impressions.  Love mine and it does not have the speedball upgrade yet. Enjoy yours.

What about international shipping, voltage here in the UK is 230v i think. Would it be possible to use here?

Yes. They are Monster cables, the only right angle RCAs I could find. I also got a right angle power cable from monoprice.

Thanks. I'll do the Speedball upgrade next month. I'm liking what I hear, it sounds good with the planars.

The site shows you can order the kit with a 240VAC power transformer for an extra fee. It's listed as an option in the buy section.

Thinking of relocating the RCAs and power cord to the rear of the amp.  Maybe the headphone jack to the front.  I know some components need to have contact to the chassis plate for ground.  Any issues with doing this?

Do they make tube's that has the colorless sound signature while being neutral? Now I don't have the tube amp' I just couldn't find the info on any tubes that exist with it.

@lextek, I don't see an issue coming from this, just make sure the connections stay the same.


Also, I was going to ask this on the Bottlehead forums but havent finished registration. I have a 6080 power tube in right now, is it easily replaceable with a 6SN7? I've read a couple things about needing to rewire, but others saying its a drop and go. If anyone can help, that would be awesome =)

 

[Beefy]

The 6SN7 is *not* suitable for the power tube. It can be used as a *driver* tube with an adapter.

 

[mosshorn]

Sorry, I meant 6AS7, I was at work when I posted and mixed the letters up :X

 

[BmWr75]

6AS7G tubes are a direct replacement in the Crack amp.  That is what I'm running now.
