No additional testing has been carried out. sold exactly as is for repair only. sold exactly as shown, please ask questions before you bid.

For sale is a DIY Bottlehead Quickie Battery Powered Directly Heated Tube Preamplifier. This preamplifier works but suffers from tube microphonics. It sounds fine until it gets the least little bump or touch and then the microphonics start. I’ve tried two different tube brands to no avail. If you can resolve it it is a cool little piece of equipment. Two sets of tubes and fresh batteries are included. A HiFi enthusiast myself, I am liquidating most of a fellow HiFi collector’s estate.

Bottlehead Crack 1.1 professionally built by me earlier this year. Amp has 40ish hours burn-in time. Works and sounds fantastic! I buy a couple crack kits every year or so...gives a retired tech something to do in the shop. Auction includes Bottleheads OEM tubes, plus an Art Series PSVANE 6080 ($75) and a Russian Sovtek winged C 6H13C ($60). This is a really nice sounding tube combination. Im listening to the same pairing on my personal crack. Ive added custom legs and remote-controlled color changing LED lights inside the case (9v battery powered) because I like the way it looks with my Geshelli gear.

Includes: One Bottlehead Amp with Speedball upgrade and finished case Original tubes (2) Upgraded tubes (2) LED kit with remote Power cord Crack and Speedball printed manuals

Bottlehead Sex 3.0 with CS4 upgrade. Built this a few years ago. Moved on to a Moreplay and a Kajui . So need to sell this this.

Built roughly a year ago with with WBT silver solder. Worked flawlessly since it was built. All original parts, including tubes. The wood chassis is still rough wood finish, so up to the buyer to choose preferred finish.

Selling a mint condition Bottlehead Eros 1 phono preamplifier. The kit was originally purchased in 2018. It was finally built about a year ago by Paul Birkeland (PB) who is an official builder and employee of Bottlehead. Paul is brilliant and as you can see in the pictures its an immaculate and very professional high quality build. You wont get this kind of quality at this price from any other brand or product. It has only been run for about an hour, the tubes and everything else is basically brand new. Ive held onto it for a while because I absolutely love the sound of this preamp and this build specifically, but unfortunately realizing I just dont have the time and circumstances to fully enjoy and put it to use right now and its just sitting around looking lonely. Comes with everything pictured, including the original power cord (not pictured). Please dont hesitate to message me if you have any questions.

Selling a mint condition Bottlehead Crack 1.1 with Speedball upgrade. The kit was originally purchased late 2017. It was finally built about a year ago by Paul Birkeland (PB) who is an official builder and employee of Bottlehead. Paul is brilliant and has probably built hundreds of these, you can see in the pictures its an immaculate and very professional high quality build. You wont get this kind of quality at this price from any other brand or product. When it was first built, my close friend and I did several blind listening tests comparing this amp to a couple of other amps that were twice the cost, and this either tied or sounded better half the time. I have been on the fence about selling it, and decided to hold onto it for this past year because I loved the sound and this build so much, but my life is just too busy to use it as much as it deserves. It has only been run for a couple hours, the tubes and everything else is basically brand new. Comes with everything pictured, including the original power cord (not pictured). Please dont hesitate to message me if you have any questions.

Beautiful Bottlehead Crack Amplifier - speedball upgrade - leopard wood case - 2 sets of tubes - RCA and stock power cable included I originally bought this prebuilt. It works beautifully and has contributed to some of the best music I’ve experienced when I paired it with the HD 600 (these are on sale too, check my profile). Selling now because I don’t use it enough and need the money. Feel free to drop an offer, just want to get this off my hands and into a loving home.

I built two of these fantastic amps with the intention of selling both...eventually...but not yet. For now, you get to choose which 1 (single amp) you want and Ill keep enjoying the other. Im a very experienced electronics tech and have built numerous kits and projects through the years. I consider these professionally built. You can see by my pricing that Im not trying to turn a big profit - I just dont want to take a loss. I build these because I enjoy the quiet time in the garage plus Im smitten by that rich tubey sound! I had tried several of the Chifi tube amps but was left underwhelmed and quickly moved on from them. The Bottlehead Crack couldnt be more different. This amp + Sennheiser 6xx hits all the right spots and made me fall in love with Sennheiser again. I have headphones costing many times more than the 6xx, but nothing replicates the richness of this combo. The Crack also sounds great with hi-impedance Beyers. My experience with planars on Crack has been all negative. Ive heard wonderful things about ZMF headphones on the Crack but havent had that particular experience yet. In addition to the already great sounding stock tubes provided by Bottlehead, this auction includes two premium tubes: an Apos Select 12AU7 ($80) and a Russian Sovtek winged C 6H13C ($60), both used for approx 20 hours across both amps. Ive added custom legs to both and both have remote-controlled color changing LED lights inside the case (9v battery powered) that I added because I like the way it looks with my Geshelli gear. The light doesnt photograph well so only one pic shows the light on (brown case). And for those that care, I use Cardas Quad Eutectic solder. Flat $25 USPS to US addresses in the lower 48. Inquire about anywhere else. Ive packaged these before. Itll be double boxed and carefully padded. Includes: One Bottlehead Amp with Speedball upgrade and finished case (charcoal or brown) Original tubes (2) Upgraded Apos and Sovtek tubes (2) LED kit with remote Power cord Crack and Speedball printed manuals
