Title: Finished my Crack+Speedball!

Very happy with the sound and had a blast building. Everything worked perfectly first try too! Big thanks to the Bottlehead team for designing and producing such a great kit!

Great job.  Good headphone selection there as well.   I love seeing the posts about first build success.  I remember years and years ago I fretted at ordering a Foreplay 2 wondering if I could pull it off and reading dozens upon dozens of posts of problems.  It was a little scary so I love seeing the success posts for any potential fence sitters.

I've now had my Crack since May 2014. The build went well, and I'm very satisfied. Another very content Crack owner!

Thanks! Yeah, reading all of the troubleshooting posts got me a little worried at first. Once I got into the build though I just made sure to follow the instructions to the last letter and it worked flawlessly.

Very nice job! I did a similar paint job using Aniline Dye. I also have HD 650's.
