Final result. I can keep the sound as I go from 32 to 24 to 16, with a slight less overall air around the sound at 16. If I normalize, I get the crackles. Son the record which I used for test today, Coates 1927 recording of the Prelude to the 3d act of Meistersinger, I began with a max level of -12 and ended up max at -6. It does sound amazing at 32. You can hear the resonance of the open bass strings at the start. And the massed upper strings are subdued- these were orchestras whose players had just heard of Auer and not yet of Suzuki.
