BeePre / Bee2Quiet / C4S Question

« Last post by Tim G. on May 11, 2025, 03:32:49 AM »

I just started working on the ccs and attenuator upgrade, and I usually start with just making sure everything mechanically goes together before I wire anything up.   I just mounted the 2 nylon stand offs and the c4s board (I did have the board populated) and I noticed the heat sinks stick out about 1/4" past the bottom of the base and it won't sit flat.  Do I need to just install the feet I'm planning, or is something amiss?  The standoffs measure 1 1/2" like the parts list mentions, but I'm not sure about the heatsinks, they may look a little taller than the manual pics?

Thanks
Tim

Thanks Paul!  And, it sounds awesome. I aLeo upgraded the output caps to Audyn Copper. The caps are breaking in, but the upgrade kit sounds amazing! Deeper bass, extended highs, more detail, more musical, sound stage is beautiful, and it sounds even more beautifully lush and luxurious. The film cap on the board is one of the old output caps, Auden Cap Plus.

Thank you!  I had done the calculator earlier but wanted to make sure there wasn't anything I was missing.  Working on voltage checks now

Its a 39K ohm resistor - 5 band color codes are a little different (see https://circuitdigest.com/calculators/5-band-resistor-color-code-calculator ).

I've made it a practice to check each resistor with a multimeter before using (older eyes and variable lighting). I think its much easier to spend a few moments to confirm the value rather than desoldering & replacing.

Moreplay Upgrade / Resistor Band Color not matching?

On the 39kohm 3w resistor it states in the manual that the bands are orange, white, orange, gold.

The resistor sent with the kit is banded: orange, white, black, red, green.

I want to make sure this is not going to be a problem before soldering in case the wrong resistor was sent.

Thank you!

Kaiju Stereo 300B amp / Re: Kaiju/ Beepre2 Equalizer

I have Bottlehead Monamour mono blocks driving Altec Model 19 clones.  I use a Schiit Lokius: a 6 band equalizer.  Adjustments at 20, 120, 400, 2Km, 6k and 16K.  $300.  I have also used the Loki Mini Plus, 4 bands, $150.  These are unbelievably transparent and effective.  I recommend them highly. And, you get a 15 day trial.

Thanks, Doc. I'll double check how I wired the amp. These are my only 16 ohm speakers and I like to switch them out occasionally.

604-D is nominally 16 ohms. If that is the case with yours, using the 16 ohm output configuration of the Kaiji OTs should give a slightly fuller bodied sound.

604-Ds and I believe 8 ohm, but I can't remember 100%.

Not a problem, your line voltage is just a bit high.
