I see, Zimo is not very impressive. Looks like Zoffi has been to close to the engine. There are a lot of secondary sounds (mostly rattling and shaking) that temper the main motor and exhaust sound.
But that is a key problem of this sounds. Do we look for the sound of the engine standing directly at it's side (lots of secondary sound), on an overpass (dominating exhaust) or in a distance of 87 meters/yards (typical mixed sound with some add ons) or 250 meters/yards (only typical sound without most details)?
I prefer the 87 meter/yards distance. That is about my distance while switching. Those with a larger layout may prefer the 250 meter/yards distance. Technical freaks with prefer the sound immediate at the locomotive identifying the left generator beating. But that should also have a lot of low frequency power tattling your bones
Tsunami fits my requirements best. I am looking forward for the new sound decoders.
ps. What is an alternative for the tiny Micro Loksound decoder? They are humming for sure but they fit in small switchers.
