More CC vs RC questions was RE: Killer Octave & Pitch Raise

[David Love]

I've always thought of the "uniquely different" line as a euphemism for
"we can't really control with great reliability what will happen".
Since we are assuming that the RC&S boards are able to reduce the range
of variability (I'll assume no system is entirely perfect), to what
degree do you think there are differences within the RC&S boards due to
basic differences in the, for example, piece of spruce that ends up
being the panel itself, or other things that I can't think of at the
moment.

What two CC boards coming out of the Steinway NY factory are
acoustically 
equivalent? Much mileage is given to the concept of the uniquely 
individualistic nature of each piano produced by these methods. Why do
you 
suppose that is? Why don't we turn this around and see if anyone can 
produce CC boards that are acoustically equivalent to a good RC&S board?

Whatever that may be. Again, if there is a meaningful acoustic
difference 
between these two construction methods, one should be able to tell by 
listening, which method was used. If they both sound good, they both
sound 
good.
