It's over. It's done!
After almost 12 months with my crack i'm finally done building it.
Started out as a normal crack. Then speedball. Caught the modding bug, and the never-ending story begun.
It was a journey in search of the perfect sound, the cleanest soldering, the best cable routing and interference-less position for components.
Thanks Bottlehead. I learned a lot from this project!
In order of implementation:
- Speedball
- Stepped attenuator
- Schottky diodes
- Speedball 12bh7/e80cc mod
- Dual choke in Power Supply
- FAQ #3
- New housing for Crack On Steroids
- Russian paper in oil output capacitors with new alloy frame inside
- Russian teflon bypass for the output capacitors
- Russian paper in oil last PS cap bypass
- Power-amp: Direct wiring of RCA's to input tube (removal volume pot)
- Speedball Maxhawk's switchboards for 12au7/e80cc/12bh7 and 5687 tubes
- 730uf PS cap upgrade for cap 1 and 2
- 120uf film cap for last PS capacitor and removal of PIO bypass.
- Bottlehead Badge
- Done :-).

You're running out of room in there!

With this housing i got plenty left.
Even wondering if it would benefit from the three 220uf capacitors paralleled to the 120uf film capacitor.
