Moreplay Preamp by Bottlehead.

My Moreplay was the fifth kit purchased, I was hoping for the first, here is a photo of mine:

The amplifier is a single ended 6E5P, which produces about a watt and a half.
 
I have a Moreplay connected to a B&K ex 442 Sonata power amp and modded Polk CRS+ SDA speakers. Sign up on the Moreplay forum and read up if you haven't already. After everything I have read and how it sounds and yes, I love upgrading, I felt I should leave it alone. I would also wait to see what people truly think about the upgrade kit as it was pretty much just launched. It was a blast to build and if you run into issues, they will pretty much reply to your questions within an hour or so.

I'm thinking about building a Moreplay to drive a Magnavox 9300 I restored and modified some years ago to lovely success. Has anyone here done the upgrade kit as well? Of course it will be impossible for me to resist upgrading caps and such as well. ALPS potentiometer, perhaps?

The upgrade kit includes ALPS pots for volume and balance.

As far as who has done the upgrade, they only released 15 kits based on this comment by Doc on the Bottlehead forum: "We were only able to get 15 of the rather unique Alps Blue MN taper balance pots with a center detent, hence ony (sic) 15 kits in this initial run. More pots are on backorder and the ETA is around the end of January."

I plan on adding the kit later this winter. In the meantime I'm enjoying my stock Moreplay (tubes upgraded to Tung Sol) with my ST-35.

Okay, so I might go ahead and get the basic kit now and order the upgrade later. Thanks!
