What I notice more than the high frequency emphasis on my Telinga, is
a very noticable peak or resonant around 500-600hz. This is I'm
assuming about where a 20" dish would start to steeply roll off? But
I almost always do a notch around there to remove the sound of the
dish. Wondering if anyone else notices it, it's kind of a gentle hum,
tonal in nature, that is almost always there.
