[sdiy] Serge Resonant Equalizer mystery solved

[Eric Schlappi]

For those also about to google, the TI app note referenced (I think) is
sboa093a
https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/sboa093?keyMatch=SBOA093A

and it has some delightful illustrations in it

thanks for all the research Aaron, this is great stuff!
