Jetrexpro, Were the tantalums the newer type made by Audio Note during the last few years, or were they the older style Shinto tantalums distributed under the AN name? I tried the old AN tants 10 or 12 years ago, and they had a peak in the midtreble and were slightly edgy. The newer AN tants are much more neutral in my opinion.
Of course, AB carbons are very warm and could be considered dull in the highs, so perhaps nearly any modern resistor will sound bright in comparison.
