I use the Crack with Senn 800's, and the bottom end is outstanding. It's very easy to assemble if you have or learn basic soldering skills. The Speedball p/s upgrade requires some precision soldering. I don't know if you'll get the same results from 600's, but check the Crack forum on the bottlehead site and I'm sure you'll find out. There is lots of expertise there.

The extra switches above the volume knob are for a Corda crossfeed circuit I added. It gives a big "Ah... that's better" to some recordings when listening to cans. The output tube is a WE 421A, which I like a little better than the standard 6080. The difference is minor, but it's cool to have a WE tube. The guitar pick is from Eric Andersen. It doesn't help the sound, but I'm a fan. The veneer is zebrawood.

The Crack/HD-800 combo gives probably the best sound I've ever had.
