The upgrade manuals are shot and I will be building out the upgrades on my BeePre to check over the manual.  We will absolutely ship the stock kits before the upgrades are put on sale.

We hope to be shipping the first kits by the end of the month. Parts have been coming in and getting prepped.

How different will it be to the original? Will it be mostly pcb with some point 2 point wiring? I have built other entry level preamp kits , how does this compare to them?

Thx
Neville

The BeePre 2 definitely has a focus on simplifying the stock build.  The wiring is 95% point to point, with one rather simple PC board with testing procedures to test the board on its own.

@Doc B:

Will the intro pricing still be going when the upgrades first become available? If not, can I purchase the BP2 now, but have you wait on shipping it to me until the upgrades are available? I'd like to save a bit on shipping to Toronto.

Also: is there any chance I can buy a couple of the original BP1 filament shunt reg boards? I sent an email about this some weeks ago, but have not heard back. I really just want the boards, but I would be happy to purchase them with or without components, whatever might be easer on your end.

cheers and many thanks, Derek

Yes the price will go up as soon as we ship this first batch, which is starting to ship today. We will be out of the office for a couple days then back to shipping the rest on Friday. So the price will probably increase next week on Monday, Feb 1.

Thanks Doc.

Can I buy the BP2 now, but have BH hold off on shipping until the upgrades are ready to ship?

Also, as mentioned, I'd be interested in purchasing a couple of the LM1085 filament reg boards used in the BP1 -- if you have a bunch in inventory that you no longer need.

cheers and many thanks, Derek

Yes, we can certainly hold on to the kit for you. I'll have to check to see if we have any of the regulator boards left.

We have just rolled in after a couple of days away at the beach. We'll be back at the packing bench tomorrow and we hope to get the next third of the orders out either tomorrow or Monday.

I was not able to locate any of the old boards Derek, sorry.
