How competitive are you with your system?


Do you try to rank your system with others’?    
Or are you content with enjoying your rig for what it is?

@mihorn   Sorry, but I do not hear depth or really image precision on your videos. Probably caused by the playback through my desktop system.

I made an attempt to get the video on here. I hope it came through

The problem with piano recordings is that many are too wide to be realistic.  I don’t know of any pianos that are 8 feet and wider.

But it is good for checking intonation and clarity.

1MM spacers.  As I noted, takes out upper midrange and adds to the high end..., maybe a bit too much.  As I said, everything is a compromise.  I’ll probably try 0.6MM.

A nice thing about YouTube is that you can go back and compare other versions of what you’ve been working on as a point of reference.

I did this one last year, probably when I put the Mundorfs on the Heils.  But other mods since (in the newer recording) seem to have helped with clarity and intonation a bit.  There also seems to be a bit more "attack" on the piano.

I think that I got the 3D printer and did the Heil waveguides, changed to the Spragues on the 18s, and changed some values around just a bit, for the current recording.  And of course, added the spacers.  Sure one can do this on their own computer without YT, but where’s the fun in that?
