[sdiy] Buchla 296 lowpass topology

I think it's a 2 stage lc low pass filter followed by a modified active
bridged t.

 My simulation of the active stage shows that the addition of the 4.7u cap
and 8.2k resistor to ground change the bridged-t so that it allows some low
frequency signal through.

Very 1960s design. Can't really see why it was chosen though, seems a bit
overcomplicated to me
