New to Bottlehead---tubes?

[mikek200]

Hi Just ordered my first crack with speedball & stock tubes.

Can anyone guide me to a thread or topic discussion ,as to where to buy tubes?

Last year I had the schiit Lyr,& purchased most of my tubes via e-bay,,or, Brent Jesse

Any suggestions/help ,will be greatly appreciated.

Tnx
Mike

Hey Mike - no hurry - take your time with the kit, but I will be curious as to how the Crack compares with the Schiit.

He did such beautiful work,I'm confident it will be perfect???-famous last words??

I will not be able to do a thorough comparison,because I sold my Schiit amp,but,I will be using the Schiit Bifrost dac.
Will be getting the Speedball upgrade,,& using my HD800,DT880,& Alpha Dog headphones
I'm a total newbie on this ,so,will have a few thousand questions,especially about tubes.
