In the meantime, while this video is not that good, here is an Euronor to just look at.

IMHO both videos sound emotionally engaging. All instruments sound quite accurate by successfully reflecting periodically correct vintage tone. Although I like the overall sound signature a lot I still feel that speakers need more space for better mid bass presence. I know there is subwoofer in the room and bass can be improved individually but IMHO the real concern is mid bass.

His midbass is weaker compared to what was in David's videos with this speaker. It could be the rear wave. Bionor and Eurodyn have a rear wave and the baffle helps the bass and tang has panels behind while David had open space. Just a guess. Rest of the kit is the same. So he might have to move them around more.

for compare, Here are a couple of others playing the same recording for a compare.


This one below is the Holbo that goes used for 3 - 4k including its LT arm, with a the lower priced Ikeda cart. Tang's video part here starts roughly around 2:10


And the Cessaro

All sounding great but Eurodyn is more emotionally engaging to my ears. BTW Exclusive 2402 is very impressive. I have a tendency to like Exclusive speakers.

in this case I liked both the other two quite more due to ability to hear more notes playing cleanly, with more weight.

That one was a clone, not the real one.
