Bottlehead Crack + Speedball: HD600 vs HD650

The HD58X Jubilee also works well.

I personally chose the HD650 over the HD600 because I prefer more of a smooth treble and the HD600 is just a bit much for me, also I enjoy the bass more over the HD600. One thing I haven’t had a chance to do is, listen on a tube amp. Is the Bottlehead Crack a solid choice or should I try a Darkvoice? I’m just not willing to spend a ton on a tube amp, but I do want one.

Crack is one of two tube amps worth buying under a grand. The other one is not the Dark Voice

I’ve never owned a tube amp, but was thinking of dipping my toe in the water so to speak. I think I would enjoy the Bottlehead Crack kit. It would be a fun project to get in to.

Outstanding! Do it now.

No, I have more learnin’ to do. I will buy a soldering kit next month. Then some simple, cheap projects off Amazon (build a clock, build a radio, etc.). Then order an amp kit.

Nah nah… this was about Jazz at the Pawnshop. Though, I’m seeing this was mentioned back in July and you subsequently have listed to it. So… disregard! LOL
