Title: Upgrades
Post by: Christopher.sizemore on September 09, 2023, 12:36:48 PM

I am curious about upgrading the resistors in the moreplay; specifically the 619 ohm resistors. Would it be reasonable to replace these with 620 ohm carbon film resistors?

That would work, though I wouldn't call it an upgrade.

The stock resistor is a 1% precision metal film; a 620-ohm carbon film would be 5% precision and possibly a little noisier. Not that the noise, if any, would be audible since those resistors are bypassed with 150uF caps.

Thanks for the information! Would it make sense to change any of the other resistors? I’ve seen several posts where people mention it.
