Hi Charles and Everyone,

Depends largely on the circuitry.  Ken Merbler's MK-II #247
has choir  voices, going thru valve-preamps, and Hi-Z heads.
That combination yields that bright "King Crimson" sound.

And Frank Samagaio's Pindertron MK-II #134 , also has
choir voices. But the preamps within have NO equalization
at all. The Moodies' choice back then. The upper registers
are more subdued than an M400,and much less than my
MK-I #124 "Julia."

Hope this helps,Charles .   Cheers, -- Jerry Korb
