Augsburger Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Steve, how is the Crack? Still sounding good now that the CJ honeymoon listening period is over? This project is very interesting to me with my extremely limited skill set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Steve, how is the Crack? Still sounding good now that the CJ honeymoon listening period is over? This project is very interesting to me with my extremely limited skill set. My opinion, having not heard it but built and listened to several amps like it, is that if you have Senns (300ohm) it'll sound very good. Otherwise its high output impedance (120ohm) could be very hit or miss. Still, I bet it would be a fun cheap build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironbut Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I'm still lovin' my Crack. Hmm, that didn't sound like I meant it to (or maybe it did!). I'm finding that it does a great job with my ATH AD2000's which are lower impedance but also, high sensitivity. With the Speedball upgrade (CCS on each tube) the bass on the 2000's is the best I've heard it. Super tight, clean and lower than I'm used to hearing it. I listened to ASR's HD800's and I probably shouldn't have. Except for the Silver Ghost and the Pinnacle, I think it's the best I've heard 'em. Now I'm trying to scrap up enough to buy a pair. The price on the kit has skyrocketed to $219 with the Speedball still at $99. I think it's a total giant killer and about the easiest kit you could ever want. So far, the only cans that I've tried on it that makes it run out of steam are the K701's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Currawong Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 These Crack comments + my RKV experience seem to validate my original theory regarding HD-800s and grunty tube amps. Might have to revise it to HD-800s + good OTL tube amp (+ re-cable if you're so inclined) = win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levlhed Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 I'm still lovin' my Crack. Me too! Well, not your Crack, butt mine I'm the proud owner of the Speedball prototype Steve had with him @ CanJam. Loving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digger945 Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Except for the Silver Ghost ... I gotta listen to Ari's 800s and someone's RS-1s on the Ghost using my source and vowee, the sound was so fair!!! Superb amp and totally satisfying setup.

Wmcmanus Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 I probably should have mentioned by now that I had a great time at CanJam, as always! Big thanks to Jim, Ryan, KG, etc., for all that they did to make it such a spectacular event. It's just insane that we have people in our ranks who are willing to spend countless hours for month on end to plan a party of this scale down to the last detail, but that's what makes so much fun for all of us to be a part of the community for so long. You guys sure did Chicago proud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superb amp and totally satisfying setup. X2. That was the first time I really LIKED listening to a HD800. The Ghost was thoroughly enjoyable! And listening to Ari's explanation of circuit design and parts choice, though mostly over my head, was a treat unto itself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Is that the Merril Lynch bull? That's awesome. And: ditters on what everyone else said. You have a fine eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Is that the Merril Lynch bull? That's awesome. The Merrill bull is in NYC and is considerably more, well, bullish. That looks like a cow. Bessie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 I have to admit, I was wondering what it was doing in Chicago, but thought maybe it was a duplicate or sumpin. And no, it's not a cow, then the joke'd be lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
