Thanks nick, I'd somehow missed your post.. another thing learnt today !
I think coupling between stages is just as important to avoid too

Well, it depends, normally you hope there is coupling from the input stage to the output stageI think coupling between stages is just as important to avoid too
In that case, maybe try changing the 150R for different values. If the difference is that profound, then the chances are, that the value you arrived at by chance is not the optimum.Cressy Snr wrote: ↑Tue May 24, 2022 4:28 pm
It sounds the best of the two topologies. Wider stereo picture with far better height and depth. Better instrumental separation, better micro and macro dynamics, better pitch definition, longer reverb tails, better vocal infection, more insight into how instruments are being played, sharper focus, better pace, rhythm and timing, and the emotion and evocation is back.
It will do, but does it matter? Changing the resistor will be simple and if you find the best value of that, maybe then try the cap. Doesn't have to be perfect, but it may be better.Cressy Snr wrote: ↑Tue May 24, 2022 5:15 pm Aye, it’s quite a step up in quality, or should I say it’s back to the way it was. I only discovered just how good it actually is by listening to the worse version of the music put out by the resistor-less version. Altering resistor values could be interesting.
I’m wondering if doing that will be altering two things at once, ie the B+ to both stages and the -3dB point of the power section filters. Those are currently set at 10.6Hz. How important or not that is, I haven’t the faintest idea, or whether I should be going up or down in -3dB frequency.
