Very educational post, thanks for taking the time to do it. |
WKG - I'd be willing to bet that those that think the Lundhal doesn't make much of a difference are recording e guitar and/or drums. On something as harmonically complex as the piano, I think they make a huge difference, although I didn't have a stock 205 to drop into the fray...
