Hi everyone
I had the Crack kit waiting on my desk for more than six months. I had the opportunity to complete the Crack this week. Very fun to build. Instruction are so easy to follow. I am not an audiophile but the sound is wonderful for me and I do not have the Speedball option.
I have two small concerns:
1) I can see a white wire (pin 10 to headphone jack) through the cathode resistors vent on the aluminium frame. Could it be a problem with time. This wire will be heated by the 10 watts resistors.
2) During my resistance check, I measured for RCA jack center pin: Right channel : 103.3 K ohms and Left channel : 93.9 K ohms. It is about 10 percent variation between channels. Should it be a concern?
Thank you

I haven't ever seen those 10W resistors scorch a wire. The difference in resistance between the channels on the pot won't cause any issues.
