Sub lm13600 for lm13700 in sharkfin?

This isn't so much a question of whether this would work, because I have done it, and it does work.  8)

But the S & H mode sounds much less intense than I remember my older sharkfin being, which used 3080's.
Just wondering if that could be caused by subbing the 13600 for the 13700, or if I should be looking elsewhere ...

Anyone wanna comment on whether swapping the OTA would make an audible difference?

Or failing that, anyone got an LM13700 they want to send me?

I can't imagine that the choice of 13x00 chip affects the intensity of the sample and hold. There are a lot of variables in that, including the JFET used as the switch.

I've found LM13700s to be BRIGHTER than 13600s, but that's purely an audio thing. For instance, the 13600 is noticeably better in the tri-vibe.
