Title: Finished Blue Crack with upgrades- No Speedball.
Post by: OsoPeligroso on December 11, 2024, 01:40:47 PM

I just posted my Red Crack which I had intended to keep stock, but thanks to this one, "Bluey", I am rethinking that. Bluey was always intended to be my "deluxe" model, with larger Audyn caps, Alps pot and Speedball kit. I had a problem with the Speedball so I removed it and will be trying again soon, but for now, I love having this one at the office. It sounds freaking awesome so I have no doubt that the Speedball's quieter noise floor will be worth it. After the success of the added Qudelix 5K in the Red Crack, I will most likely add a naturally brighter FIIO BTR13 to this one.

I used TransTint Blue and 2K Nitro SprayMAX lacquer for the finish. It's not the smoothest finish ever but considering what I went through to get to THIS, you would know why I had to finally stop.

I'd say 'nice crack' but that sounds weird. I'll go with 'Well done, Dave'.
