That's the best excuse DefQon.

Indeed it is.

Different. That's the SEX. That's actually the one I'm interested in (or maybe the new Mainline amp), but I thought others might like to keep the project more simple and cost effective. I'm open to thoughts though and can see what Eilleen can arrange.
 
Let me know if you would prefer to order and build the SEX (US$539) rather than Crack (US$279). I think the Mainline is in a limited quantity preorder phase so we've probably got buckly's of getting them and they're US$999.

Keen on the Mainline but it so new doesn't seem like anyone posted any impression on it.

Would not mind attending for a gawk.... but am just a newb with not much to offer

I got some pricing from Bottlehead. If we buy 2-9 of an amp it's cheaper. If we buy 10+ it's cheaper still.

I am travelling today, but will post specifics of Crack and SEX pricing as soon as I can. I might also setup a poll to measure interest in each amp.

 

[Loquah]

PS I will hopefully be attending the 2nd meet for others to see and hear the Crack. If we arrange the buy after that you can confirm after seeing and hearing the finished product.

Defqon, are you going to meet 2?

 

[gikigill]

So are we building the Crack or the SEX. The Crack is pointless for me since I don't have a single high impedance can.

 

[Loquah]

I'm hoping for both. Crack for some, SEX for others. Sounds like an interesting day!

I'll go to learn some soldering skills if that's okay.

 

[gikigill]

Yup, put me down for some SEX.

 

[gikigill]

Oh and I don't have 0 soldering skills, I have negative soldering skills.

No No, I mean the last time I tried to solder something, it was a disaster and a perfectly fine valve amp was sacrificed.

Loquah, I'm down for the crack plus speedball upgrade if possible. No impression of the mainline yet so a bit risky to just drop $1k.
