Hi DeeJust remove the 8 Ohms resistor and continue to use the 36uF cap. The sound would be fine.
Mike from Perth said that he preferred 36uF to 22uF when he did the first stage of the mod.
As much as the removal of the toroid would improve the sound, the AU transformer is a far superior solution. The highs from the Au EI transformer has more body than the SL toroid - my ears tell me. Cymbals sounded bigger and fuller with the EI transformer. Also not having a cap to cut off bass makes sense don't you think. The whole mod also allows you to remove the inductor and makes the backplate box really spacious. The only thing that does any filtering in the backplate is the mixer. Use some nice Russian Teflon, like Lew did and you have a very nice pair ELS that is world class.
Less is more in every case.
