Sweet, Steve...tweaks are like medications, they all have their side-effects; if you run into an internist, they become additive and cumulative .
Cheers!
Okay, I am like-minded with David, the message here was, "less is more." Once starting down this slippery slope, you can keep treating symptoms of the previous actions...a little more to the left, now a little more to the right...it becomes a virus, simply untreatable...as you mentioned earlier, David gave you tempoary relief; as a earlier song about California mentioned something like, "deadhead sticker on a Cadillac , go can't go back..." Since you like the, "raw and unadorned," I would suggest that you simply follow that theme, listen to heart and resist the urge to muddle-it-up...mho.
Btw, do you now feed your lammies directly into the wall?
Really love the new additions!
Happy Listening Steve!
