Color Me Enamored

I'm totally intoxicated by the sound of my recently completed Crack-a-two-a.  There's an immediacy to the sound, which fosters a real emotional connection for me.  I've rolled a couple tubes and settled -- for now -- on a mil-spec Sylvania JHS 6189-12AU7WA in the input-tube position, NOS Chatham Electronics 6080WB with slotted graphite columns in the output position and a pair of NOS GE 5-star 6005s in the shunt-regulator spots.  The overall character is one of crystalline clarity, airiness and silky smoothness in the mids and highs with well-rounded, incisive, punchy and robust low end when called for.  So glad I made the decision to purchase this fine amp!  And on top of that, there was the bonus of being able to immerse in the build process. 

Here are a couple test shots I made with my iPhone earlier today.  I plan to make some more nicely arranged, composed and post-processed images with my full-frame mirrorless once I've installed the TwoQuiet upgrade. 

Joe.

This is a community of enablers; you won't get objective input here.  If asked whether you should get another headphone amp, my response will be unambiguous: "Yes! Get another amp. You need one."  :)
 
Nice work jtori, looking forward to the glamour shots.
I agree with your philosophy: With 2 turntables and 3 phono preamps, I'm not thinking of offloading one of the preamps, I'm thinking of what TT project will be next.

Hey jtori,
You were correct this forum is full of enablers including yourself. I just ordered a C2A!! That's it, no more kits Ever, and I mean Ever,
well maybe not ever but in the near future, I think, I'm not sure now. Who am I? What did this sickness do to me?  :D
