That's super! Thanks so much, Hiro. And it definitely confirms what I hear, in that it's more an ambience difference and a vague sense of harshness in the 128 that I hear. Very interesting! BTW, I assume that you produced the spectrograph with some piece of high-end audio software that you have. I Googled to see if there was any freeware/shareware to do the same thing, and couldn't find anything. Any ideas/suggestions, without spending money? -- David W.
