Ian,
You are of course correct!
Since it is fed from the input transformer in this case, I suppose what I'm trying to determine is whether I should leave it as a fixed resistor or if I should make it easy for people to play around with the value by using a trimpot - the builder will know better than I what their variables are (even the simple question of whether they are using the Carnhill or UTM transformer, which each have slightly different DCR, I believe).
Personally, this is a little fussier than what I'd want as a builder and I'd probably just leave it at 2k4 and be done. But I can imagine someone who wanted a very particular response and knew they would almost always be feeding it from, say, their soundcard, that person might like to be able to easily adjust a trimpot upon testing to achieve that goal.
Hopefully we'll get some input from potential builders here! If not, I'll just leave it as is.
As always Ian, thank you - your expertise is deeply appreciated and it is why this project even exists at all!
