---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment David I hear what your saying & I agree. I'm not sure this answers any of your 2 question directly but I just listened to a CD of Ron Overs piano. A 71/2 ft played by Scott Thile. Scott is a very talented player but the other real talent is in Ron & his piano. I have listened to many good to horrible piano recordings & most probably Steinway Ds so I have a good feel for this sort of thing. At first I though it wasa really good D but then as I listened closely I realized how purely powerful & clear the tone was. Especially the top four treble octaves. The whole piano was good but Rachmaninoff really showcases the trebles & they shined. Pure tonal power. Oh...My ...Gosh. The Rachmaninoff was gorgeous but the pianist had a lot to work with. Quite a good recording & the sound was what I personally have always hoped for intuitively. The recording subdued the bass a bit but still the whole piano was a dream. A preferable sound? Oh yeah Baby!! Dale Erwin My experience so far is that the RC&S boards with cutoff and fish etc., are better, but different. By better, I mean more predictable, better success rate, fewer quirky things like killer octaves, dead trebles, unsmooth transitions, thuddy low basses, distortions in the tenor, strange resonances, dead spots. There are some qualities that change and my attempt in all this is to understand why and whether those other intangibles are also controllable.
