I'm listening to this recording with a Schiit Modi 3 on Monitor Audio Silver 3's, C-CAM Drivers/Gold Dome Tweeters just in case that might be of interest. Playback is 24-bit/92kHz, and not upconverted to the DAC's 192 specs. This is one of the best recordings I've ever heard. The thunderstorm recordings that I've heard have a fog that runs through the lows and mids (all tested on this equipment). You've managed to separate the low to mid frequencies so that they are not creating nodes in my space...the result is a more realistic presentation. Other recordings seem to emit noise-canceling nodes anywhere from 120Hz-20Hz. I think this is worth mentioning and is worthy of some appreciation here. If you have a secret, maybe enlighten me. Are you steering, compressing one of the channels or over a frequency range in the edit? It sounds engineered from Skywalker Sound for production. Thank you, Felix.
