Righto then, I guess there is no reason not to try this, except that one of the original crossovers here is non-functioning (if I remember correctly), so if trialling in stereo I'll have to crossover in Melquiades. Should have the parts here to do that.
Have just spent quite a few hours back in the DSETs dotting the i's and crossing the t's with a few things, replacing the heater wiring, new super high quality DHT tube sockets, changing out crossover caps for my preferred variants (did the Upperbass coupling caps a few months ago from 950B to Duelund copper cast and the change was lovely, so more in that vein), changing out the pots in the DHT humbuckers to be rid of the last of that low level noise, modified the bias arrangement a little so that the DC Offset could be fully cancelled again (filter changes meant I could no longer set DC offset to zero) and a few other things.
With the new filters I first plan to reset my time alignment properly and comprehensively as well as the channel SPL's. I've figured out where I want to sit in the soundstage and the seating position is now locked down so it is the right time to do this precision tuning before playing with the Red tweeter.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
