My buddy suggested that at such a high resistance I should just use a piece of wood. :green: :wink: :green:

"the capacitor sounds much better now."
Will it sound different with other types of wood.
Could be a nice project for a preamp, with a rotary switch to select the different woods :green:

Any of you remember or have had dealings with (I assume the late) Pete Wald? He had a company called Wald Sound iirc in the southern California area.

One suggestion I've heard is just to use some antistatic foam, clipping onto it somehow. Seems like a possibility, albeit one with little or no control over the exact value.
