well actually dipping the lower midrange by a db is a move that almost always results in a clearer midrange above it. the question now is: is this added clarity the same as dipping the lomids or is the burl rulerflat and achieves the added clarity through some other way. cause maybe just changing this resistor simply changed the freq response down there and that might be all that´s to it. might! might not!
that´s why I wanna find out, cause I do not believe in unexplainable "magical" soundimprovements. it all comes down to freq balance, harmonics/distortion and phase relationships. no more, no less.

rock on!
