My Beepre 2 is playing beautiful music.  It really sounds fantastic!  Smoother more relaxed than the original Beepre, a pleasure to listen to. It really sounds different than Beepre, not that the original is bad in any way. It does have enough gain to drive my DIY F4 amp.  Looking forward to hearing it with the the Kaiju I am currently working on and the Jager speakers.

Waiting on some different knobs

Great job! That's one fine looking BeePre!

I really love the color scheme. I just finished building one, too, and I think that it sounds great, too.

Congratulations!

That looks great and I'm happy to see you're still using the Purple Heart for your bases.

That is so cool. I think more relaxed (and natural) is a very good description of the sonic improvement. I did not think the redo would sound better based upon my biases about the circuit changes made. But it was pretty obvious right out of the gate that it was better and my biases were unfounded. It will get even better with the upgrades, which we are hoping to get started on after we get through the current wave of order fulfillment.

Pun intended?

Thanks, I look forward to the upgrades!
