Took advantage of the sale & ordered up a BeePre, thanks Doc!

For some reason the Bottlehead badge option is not on the BeePre page, as it is with all the other amps. Not a big deal, just ordered from the 'other stuff' page, but just thought I'd let you know.

A question - have you considered a control logo panel for it, like the BeeQuiet & Mainline? Think that would be cool.
I know I can add the BeeQuiet later, but in the meantime...

Chris.

We did consider it, but determined that most customers would end up with the BeeQuiet, and the budget ended up getting pretty tight on the stock BeePre.  It would be pretty annoying to spend money on something like that which would be discarded during the upgrade and be useless in any other application. This would also probably mean packing a stock BeePre differently than one getting shipped with a BeeQuiet, and on and on...

Thanks Paul, yes more than likely end up with the BeeQuiet myself.
Was thinking more along the lines of an option, so kit would be stock, just add it if wanted. Since there is the template already, just a matter of changing the labelling, which is pretty easy with laser engraving these days.

Received my BeePre kit, looks nice.

But....checking the parts list off against the contents, seems I am missing the LM1085 regulators off the filament boards.
Not having much luck with my parts lately! Will email Eileen to get these sent out.

Also, picked up an error in the parts list: the PN2907's are not mentioned in the Filament Boards parts list, although they mentioned in the instructions (& included in my kit).
