No answers from me here Eric. I do a lot of wondering as well. Seems like there are a lot of these kinds of possibilites we dont really have answers for because no-ones really looked close enough to find out for sure. Time consuming and costly sometimes. Still... both these suggestions seem to have some merit on the surface of things. And the change in sound is unmistakable. Perhaps not so much at very soft levels... havent really considered that. Will have to listen more careful next time I'm on one of these. Well folks... I think I have to take a break from the list for a while. Many things are demanding my time right now, and well... given the recent past it might do me some good to do a little reflection anyways. I will see you all again no doubt, but for now just let me express my thanks for all the correspondance and friendship this list has provided me. I am greatfull. Cheers, and goodnite RicB Wolfley, Eric (wolfleel) wrote: >Hi Ric, > >I thought of both those possibilities but still wonder...does the tone >change at all volume levels or just at forte and above?
