Bottlehead Crackc




Check with Bottlehead, but the Crack amp might be good. It's a single-ended, output transformer-less amp for high-impedance headphones built around the 6080 dual triode. On my Senn 800's, it's heaven. And it's cheap: $315 or $430 with the optional "Speedball" constant-current power supply. It's a kit - an easy build, though the Speedball requires some precision soldering skills. Bottlehead, as a company, and especially through the very active forums on its site, provides outstanding support. There is plenty of room inside to substitute your latest-and-greatest capacitors, a stepped-resistive-ladder volume control, and/or an extra board with a Corda crossfeed circuit.
