[Elecraft] K2 Headphone Output

I find myself using the K2 volume control at max when listening to weak
CW signals.  Has anyone played around trying to increase the headphone
output on the K2?

It looks like resistors R35 & R36 and electrolytic capacitors C105 & C106
(on RF board schematic sheet 1) are there probably to reduce high-pitch
hiss, but they also do a good job of reducing the overall headset volume.
 Removing the caps (or reducing their value) and/or shorting the
resistors looks like it would significantly increase the headset volume.

Any thoughts?
