Chris: I've noticed innumerable questions and comments about using SV83s in the AX84. It seems to me that an SV83 would work just fine if you made the following changes (reference the full version 9 with tone stack): a) change R7 to 1k ohm b) change R2 to 10k Could you please suggest this to the others??
