Hello Phil

I tend to use Keith at about 60 and frequency 8 as my default voice as he is 
less bassy than the rest through my headphones.  I quite like Perfect Paul but 
he is a bit bassy.  I wonder if APH might consider a bass cut in a future 
firmware?  Of course, different people have different listening preferences.
