HI GUYS!

This is a marvelous thread! Although I do not know what all the "Letter words" represent, I do sorta-kinda get the gist of what you are saying.

DIKI.... Your detailed descriptions are priceless...as are the comments added by the rest of the players....

Frequently when I play (daily) my Technics KN7000 I tweak the sounds, especially the alto sax, clarinet, and piano...till I get just the sound that is correct...to my ear. These 3 instruments are my fave's...

The 7K has so many avenues that permit tweaking of an instrument...much there I do not understand, so I just try different things, listen and make whatever changes seem appropriate till I get what I think I want...until next time....

Putting two of any instrument in the lead and second position does give a fuller richer sound that reaches much deeper to a soulful level... I can also change and tweak all the instruments in the accompaning rhythms....or mute them completely.... I find frequently that "less is more"...

Additionally, when the opportunity presents itself, I ask other players how my sounds work for them.... that too is very helpful. I would love to have one of you as my neighbor for at least long enough to have the opportunity to share some magical music together!

Please keep this sort of thread going...it is so much better than all the bantering and otherwise "pissing contests" you boys get into all too frequently.....

Happy playing!

Elizabeth....
