I have to confess...

When I built my first couple of Foreplays, I really didn't think much of the parts that went into them. I did a lot of substitutions for resistors and caps, especially the resistors on the C4S boards. In the end, a stock FP2 with anticipation ended up sounding much better. When I got down to it, the resistors in these kits are quite carefully selected. I also figured out that the power supply capacitors in many of these kits are actually some of the most expensive electrolytics you can find in that case size, short of Black Gates. The same goes for the kit wire, I just priced a couple of 100 ft. spools for myself, and I was absolutely shocked how expensive the teflon hookup wire is. Anyway, my point is, go ahead and experiment, but build it as stock as possible first so you know if you're making headway.
