Moreplay connect with stereomour II

[87Coug]

Hello, just finished the Moreplay preamp. All resistance and voltage checks were spot on. My issue is that when I connected it to my stereomour II and attempt to play music I am getting no sound. I have a Denafrips Aries II and MacBook Pro as my source. Since the Stereomour is an integrated amp are there mods that need to happen or am I missing something. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Jack

Do you get sound when you go straight into the Stereomour?

[87Coug]

Yes, everything works and sounds beautifully with the Stereomour. Am I wrong to have the volume off on the Stereomour???

[87Coug]

with volume controls maxed on both the stereomour and moreplay I get very faint sound out of both speakers.

Are your input and output RCA's routed correctly on the Moreplay and Stereomour, and the switching set properly?

I would start out with zero volume control on both the Morepaly and Stereomour. And increase each very slightly (don't want to blow up your speakers)

Ill check the Moreplay to make sure I didn't cross anything up. Im confident the stereomour is correct as Ive been using it extensively but to be sure I will recheck those connections against the plans as well. Thanks, Ill give an update once complete this weekend.

Yes, the volume control on the Stereomour should be turned all the way up.

[87Coug]

Thanks, I will check that as well.

If that's not the issue, I would look over the volume pot wiring carefully to be sure it's connected as indicated in the manual.  You can get perfect voltages and resistances and still have a substantial pot miswire that won't let any signal out.

Thanks Paul, I will check 👍

Here is a pic of the chassis, checked the wiring and all was OK, kept fiddling with and changing the RCA jacks and it just started working. Sounds amazing

Nice!

The Moreplay manual does not mention it,but you might want to verify the 3 inputs and 2 outputs are working correctly. When I was done building mine, the middle input was not working because it was shorted from melting wire jackets while soldering. I was able to track it down and fix it.

Also, do all of the inputs on the Stereomour work?

Your setup looks great!

Thank you, funny you mentioned that because one of the inputs (L1 & R1) dont work and I was confused and then I noticed the input selector only has 2 positions??? Did I mess up the install on the selector? Both output RCA's operate normally on the Moreplay.  Regarding the Stereomour, all the inputs function as they should. Thanks again, let me know what Im missing.
