HK Citation I rebuild question.

Not open for further replies.
I am currently in the process of rebuilding my HK Citation I preamp and I noticed that the grid bias resistor in the phono stage on both channels (R10 on schematic) has a 2.2 Meg resistor parallel with a 680K (about 520K) instead of the 560K shown on the schematic. The other 4 560K resistors are all correct. The resistors look original. My question is why would anyone do this? R26 is 560K. I know that this is still within the 10% tolerance or the resistor value but someone had to do this deliberately and I am just wondering why.
