Title: New Moreplay build complete, sounds great
Post by: timindq on February 10, 2023, 07:16:50 AM

It's been a few years since I've built a Bottlehead kit, and this one was a great way to get back into kit building. After finishing I successfully completed the resistance checks with no problems. Unfortunately, when I hooked the Moreplay up to an amp to test with music, there was no sound from the left channel. After checking all of the obvious possible missteps with connections, I turned the unit over for more serious troubleshooting. It took a few minutes of signal tracing to find I had reversed the left channel leads coming from the Input Select switch. Swapping the wires was no problem, whew.

Hooked the amp back up, and two-channel music was happening. I installed the Moreplay into my stereo last night and sat back for some fantastic sound. Thanks Bottlehead!!!
