as for low mid dips equaling mid clarity, trust me: there's no way in *hell* i would've given rich positive feedback on a mod that screwed with the low mids. i was extremely resistant to changing anything at all, but i had to admit it seemed to be a change that clarified the mids without making any other sacrifices. the level may have shifted, but we're talking one or two tenths of a db at most. it was the character of the sound that changed.

analog circuits are all voodoo to me, so magic is a concept i'm comfortable with. why any two pieces of gear that measure ruler flat still sound different is a mystery to me, and why those changes have an impact on me emotionally is an even deeper puzzle. i'm as moved by the hifi sheen of dsotm as i am by the gritty junk of a stax 45; i go by the gut at all times, and while i don't understand my gut, i trust it implicitly.

be well!
