Hi,
Only noticed this now....

Then don't do it.

Correct.

No, the EQ is done by the inductors. The RC sections are literally "zobel" circuits to produce a constant input impedance in the presence of a large inductive reactance. The fact that the Inductors are the frequency shaping devices can be noted from calaculating the timeconstants (L/R) created, 45mH & 600R for example equals 75uS.....
> I see the whole setup as inferior to a low Z split RC network with top quality caps
You tried both then, I take, or are you merely talking in terms of intellectual prejudice?

Which I deliberatly did not use, you may note....
