Completed First Crack Build--

[Emoreigns]

Completed my first Crack Build Last Night-

All Voltage and Resistance measurements came out right on the nose. I AM very excited to borrow my brother DAC and nice headphones and give it a listen tonight. I will update on the sound quality and my observations later tonight.

So excited- I had to share this first build with the world on the forum!

Got the crack stacked on top of my old Silvertone 1939 Model 6425 Magic Green Eye radio-- All tested and ready to go!!!

Cheers-

Nice clean build. Great job! What headphones are you going to use with it?

If you end up having issues getting that amp to pass signal, I would immediately be suspicious of those RCA jacks potentially creating a short across certain RCA plugs.

@Paul Birkeland- All the volts.amps checks passed- But I am getting some occasional static/ distortion that can make listening unpleasant. Do you think this is the source Paul? Sure do appreciate the help and response on this, as I was just going to open up another thread.

Thanks-EE

Thanks Cary-

Having some static/ distortion noises. Going to go through and heat up any dull appearing joints tonight, and hope that does the trick.

Cheers + Happy Listening

Have you done the diode mod on the power in socket?

I'm going to try to heat up any dull joints I may have and reflow them and see if that takes care of the problem- If not I will implement this modification and report back.

Thanks,
