This was taken from the description of the Creek OBH 11 at their website:
"No expense has been spared to enable the OBH-11 headphone amp to faithfully reproduce a music signal. Only the highest quality components are used in its classic amplifier circuitry, to achieve low distortion and noise, with good stereo separation".
No expense spared????????? erm I tend to disagree with that statement Mr. Creek. You have used the cheapest components available on the market in this amp and you want to revise that paragraph to:
"Expense has been cut down to the bone and we use the cheapest components money can buy in our classic amplifier circuitry to maximise our profits"
God, do these manufacturers think we don't know how to use a screwdriver and "never" have a look under the bonnet? I'll be contacting Michael Creek to ask him why My headphone amplifier didn't come with "the highest quality components" on board and arrived with "cheap crap" instead.
A blatant case of misrepresentation of goods if ever I saw one.
See the full write up on the OBH 11 by Creek here:

If any other OBH 11 owners here take a screwdriver to the unit and slide the PCB out (easy 30 second job) they will see for themselves that cheaper components couldn't have been used as these "are" the cheapest you can get!
God I'm fuming after seeing that description on the Creek site, I will be on the phone to them first thing tomorrow!
