I didn't go down that road

But... people swear by this 2SC2999 business.
It's mostly another gimmick to sell a part and a modification.

It really doesn't work as people expect. They think they are going to get x dB every single time and in every situation they use it in as if this is an absolute thing.

Nobody has demonstrated that it has the magic pixie dust they say it does. In fact, it may hurt more than it helps.
These guys don't realise that you can overdrive the mixer/IF stages doing this and unbalance things.

It's a part swapping thing. Have to swap a part because this new part has a bigger number.
