On slow movement into third the rain might come into effect a little more. But people in the tropic and UK are quite used to. How about aussie?this is wonderful recording indeed, will check if I have this one, and good recording too Tang
piano tone so much inner detail
i wonder could u play the slow movement till it goes into the third ?
great playing how did Backhaus do that while it was raining ?

Hi Ron,
Videos are just supplement. I describe sound I hear in my system when someone ask me question. I don't want to write ahead and lead people to hear. Video can be very useful to help describe more tangibly what people in the room hear. Good writers can describe sound so beautifully making the reader imagine how wonderful sound it could be. They are talent at that. But do you really know their reference level? You never even heard his system. Their reference could be mediocre to me or you, but they describe the sound from their system so damn wonderful with their gifted writing skill. Me, Ked and Gian share videos almost everyday. On videos that one of us was there, the other two could actually describe the sound from video and cross check with the one who was there. More often than not our comments were consistent of what one of us in that room heard. Three of us has different preferences but we have the reference point at pretty much the same level. So video using as suppliment can be very useful tool when you do comparison and to screen what interesting and what not vaguely. I am not trying to convince anyone the merits of video. This is just my opinion. We all have our ways.
Regardin the tone of my A820+Doshi. It is warmer and more organic than the Ballfinger, A820 with its own phono card and the ATR102. I had all of them in my room listening extensively. Imagine a stereo with tone adjustable feature. The tone my A820+Doshi is as if the Ballfinger has the tone adjustable knobs and you tone down your treble adjustment knob and turn the bass adjustment knob up one tick pass the middle. I also think the clarity and treble of Ballfinger come with a degree of thinness. If you listen to the Scheherazade videos below (I know you wont do that Ron. But some of us might.) Listen to the triangle and the cymbals. The Studer+Doshi has that charming effervescent tailend of ringing, but the Ballfinger gives just a harder treble with little tailend. The presentation of Studer+Doshi also go deeper where as the Ballfinger more upclose as a few friends mentioned commented. On orchestra I like the presentation of Studer+ Doshi. On high impact crescendothe Studer+Dosihi just make this earth shaking majestic powerful sound, but not the same level with Ballfinger. And you get the sense of hall more from Studer+Doshi. But as some said my Studer head alignment has problem. Is there really a problem? I don't know. But if I don't make any comparison videos someone might just say it already sounds nice. See the videos wont let me bullshit.
Ballfinger
Studer/Doshi
Good tech is hard to come by in Thailand. I solely rely on Mr.Doshi. I have my trust in him. I am lazy. But I will be talking to him to make sure my tape head and alignment are in great shape. The tone of Studer/ Doshi is like Awsmones and Bob described centered below the navel. Funny thing about it is, it lacks mid-hign but somehow reveal such excellent high on the very top. The trails on percussions are just addicting. If I could get more of Ballfinger "from navel up", this Studer/Doshi will be the ultimate for me.One cannot conclude that from the graph microstrip showed imo , but its never a bad idea to do a calibration check , that goes for both machines , but you need a GOOD tech
The studer has the expensive tubed out put stage , Ballfinger had to built a whole tapemachine within a certain price perspective, a ss outputstage gives a less warmer sound in general and different bass ( I m certainly not saying less or worse depends on the design )
It would be the best to get a ballfinger with a direct heads heads out included for comparisons .
What i would state is that the turntable sounds very ¨ sparkling .¨ compared to the tape
But this is of you tube off course so its not the whole picture

I am lazy. And I am less than a child my dear professor.
Cartridge setup learning was a different matter. David just wouldn't leave me alone in peace nor leave my place if I didn't learn that stuff from him.
