first impression: I like the sound, but it
seems in some music slow roll off has a bit of a 'muddling' effect. In
another piece (track 3 of Amused to death) possibly the same effect
smoothes the girl's voice that tends to be a bit shrill. I certainly
will experiment further.

Also thanks Andy. I almost certainly won't hear the difference (aging
has a larger effect on perceived roll off I'm afraid). But it shows

If you are using an unbalanced connection between the TP and the amp,
you can use the attenuators in the TP. When you use a balanced
