Bottlehead Forum: Re: Extended Foreplay III questions by Steve Mamayek

I just finished up my Extended FPIII tonight with Posternutbags corrections and everything is good to go. As for your questions:

If memory serves right the original FP used 2.2uf coupling caps, but changed over to the 3.0uf caps for better bass. Your Audio Note caps should do just fine.

The only problem that i ran into, which could have just been the way i built my FPIII, was a wire that was too short. On page 13, step 3, you cut the red wire at octal socket terminal R5. Later on you will re-connect that wire to pad "O" on the A side of the shunt reg board, page 37 step 2. Once you mount the shunt reg board i would check and see if that wire will reach in case you need to solder a longer wire to terminal 21U.

Cheers,
