The Bottlehead Crack is an outstanding first project for the novice audio DIYer. The big win, however, is that once you’ve finished your build, you’ll have a fantastic sounding amp.

You need an ALL212 built Reduction with Integration upgrade. Give it a couple months.
I can justify having a bunch of headphone amps.

The Crack is headphone, the Eros and mentioned Reduction with Integration upgrade are phono pre amps. This is my Eros with upgraded aftermarket Wisconsin grown crotch walnut base. From Arron's pops property. It sounds wunnerful..and the walnut with hand rubbed Tung oil finish changes with different lighting. Never get tired of looking at it. It has some fine tubes in it.

if you do think about building a Eros I will probably be interested in your phono amp
Now i really like my Vincent one I currently use, but for my full range speakers setup with Omega 7 speakers i have a dared monoblocks and dared tube preamp that would like your phono amp. plus I may someday want to replace with Bottlehead monoblocks and/or integrated amp and then again the bottle phono amp would be a nice secondary setup
my goal being DIY speakers i already made + DIY amp + DIY preamp + DIY Phono amp!2 ch- Polk CRS+ * Vincent SA-31MK Preamp * Vincent Sp-331 Amp * Marantz SA8005 SACD * Project Xperience Classic TT * Sumiko Blue Point #2 MC cartridge

Make sure everything but the power amp is on, volume down and warmed up before you power the amp up.
