Kenny, I "hear" you about the loss of HF. When someone plays the highest notes on a piano in person, all I can hear is the mechanical action of hammer on strings, but no musical tone whatsoever. IF the acoustics are just right, I may can pick up a tone, but if they dissipate into the ambient air at all, they are lost.

Anyway, I'm glad you were able to rectify for the easier-of-hearing. Though I can't tell any marked difference (they both sound fine to me) I did enjoy listening again.
