Rick,
The cap change is more noticeable. I followed Dick Messick's idea
and used a 500pF cap which it took some of the harshness off the
treble. I A/B 'ed this with the cap that came with the reissue on a
DPDT switch and you can notice the difference. It wasn't mind-blowing
but overall the sound became a bit softer with these mods (tube and
cap). JWL
