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.
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?

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? Prior version: |
This sounds really good. Very nice! Agree. In PC, only one video can play at the time. In YT, 2 or 3 videos can open simultaneously that comparison is more accurate. Alex/WTA

I used to think about the competitive nature of my audio journey when I was young. At 71 I couldn’t care less. I enjoy what I have and do not think I need anything else except an upgraded streamer set up. Everyone who listens to my system walks always stunned which means only that I am on the right path but each ear is different. My system suits my ears perfectly. I enjoy many other systems I listen to. Less refined and less expensive to those that cost wise way out pace mine. That being said at the end of the day all that matters is do you enjoy what you have and does. It leave you feel fulfilled musically. |
