I ordered a Crack in April and got it in May;,within a week I was up and running, There were a few issues- one joint I missed soldering and a few joints I reflowed. That took care of any snap crackle and pops. Made my way over to some NOS tubes- a 5998 and a Mullard 12au7. Added Cardas headphone cable to my HD600's.
I'm lead to believe that there is better but as far as I'm concerned I've got the finest personal listening setup I have as yet to experience.
A friend spent $1000 on a pair of headphones alone. My total investment, including wood finishing products, is perhaps $40* more than what my friend paid for his headphones, which I don't think are exceptional. * add $20 for the fancy wire stripper I treated myself to- but I've already used that tool for other things.
Truly feeling some Crack love and dig the whole DIY part

What headphones did he buy? ...try plugging them into the crack and see where that takes you :)
