responses to these
tweaks continue to be!
I just listened to the first CD of the Gardiner's traversal of Bach's

Keep enjoying the music!

and turn the knob manually. Then one sits down, only
to find that it'd be nice if the music were just a tiny bit louder (or
softer). Then one gets up again . . .
To avoid this, I'm willing to forgo the potential advantage of vollock,
if any. ;-)

Guido F vs TT3.0 default
Can't people see that they are the same?
*Yes, we can.* ;-)
Very closely the same, anyway.
Mysteriously, though, they do not sound the same.
But close? Yes.

definitely too much highs for me in the strings and I am afraid I can't

Which Vivaldi? Who plays?

Guido---just curious, have you tried the GuidoF settings with the buffer
size set to 2?
Yes, I have. The results were not encouraging.

Initial impression in my next post.
