I did it! Yeah me!

I bought two polypropelyne .15 microfarad caps and soldered them b/w pins 2 and 3 with the ground going straight trough. On my DAW, i ran pink noise out and back in through my patch bay. Then using a freq analyzer (Voxengo SPAN) i measured the result- a very flat line. Then i patched into the cicuit i made (very crude TRS to TRS thing) and tested it again. My analyzer showed a very steady dip starting at about 250 hz and sounded relatively uncolored. So now, im guessing if i want to force the corner freq down, i should install a shunt resistor of a value of 20k or greater? Or is that because i should have used .16 micro farad caps? This is really fun!
