You must be referring to the Crack. It was a fun kit to build. The instructions are absolutely first-rate. Certainly doable by a first-timer. You must follow all of the safety directions. No short-cuts! Take your time.

The output tube can be a 6AS7 or a 6550 (I believe). I used a Soviet equivalent to a 6AS7 before I switched over to a GE 6550. Tube rolling works in this case.

It was great with a pair of Beyerdynamic DT-990 600 Ohm. (High impedance phones work best here.) I was happy with it until I got stats.
