That is true.... Listening again to my files I found out, that I may prefer the "time aligned version" because it results in a comb filter, that helps to "filter" the percussion section, especially the timpani, which is preferable with the Shostakovich symphony. On the other hand 3D imaging is however deteriorated; I have to admit that I yesterday evening/today morning was kind of "status post vinum" and I was basically kind of impressed by the percussion sound not paying attention to the rest...


@ fifth circle: Do you use hypercardioid/figure eights for spots and go really close?

@ frans: what exactly do you mean by phase aligning?

Thanks for your responses,

Best,

Leif
