Which Bottlehead headphone amplifier should you choose?

For high-impedance dynamic headphones: Start with the Crack 1.1. Its OTL circuit is designed for high-impedance headphones, not low-impedance models. The Crackatwoa is another OTL option for experienced builders looking for higher performance.

For a wider range of headphone impedances: Explore the Mainline 1.1 or SEX 4. The SEX 4 can also power compatible loudspeakers, making it a versatile choice for a desktop listening system.

For electrostatic headphones: The Stat is a specialized energizer. Electrostatic headphones have different drive requirements from conventional dynamic or planar-magnetic headphones, so check compatibility before ordering.

For a complete setup: The MoreSEX System pairs the SEX 4 with the Moreplay preamplifier.
