    Tell the Costco guy what you are doing.

    He won't care.

    Then you might feel better about it.

          But what caused the clicking sound?
          Ace Hardware sells a kit for working on electronic instruments.
          Good time for you to familiarize yourself with your new piano!
          Take it apart, get the grease gun out of the garage, go to it.
          Or, I guess let warranty take care of it if necessary.
          But have the grease gun at the ready.

          Anyway, huge congratulations on the piano. I'm envious, in a good supportive way.
          And, more recordings! That was enjoyable!

            Thanks RM. I don't really fit behind the keyboard because I'm so fat, which is why I miss some notes sometimes.

            I just went to costco and replaced the keyboard. This one is totally click-less, feels perfect, but the bluetooth doesn't work. Sigh.

              What headphones do you Pianoteq peeps use? I am investing in Sennheiser 650s. I think I am bottlenecked in sound quality with my cheap headphones.

                You'll have to go to @kluurs for that one. I use some cheapo headphones - a no-name brand. For my needs they're OK. If I want great, room-filling, sound, I'll go to my grand.

                  I use Sennheiser HD 800 which I run through a Topping D90SE DAC/headphone amplifier.

                    I literally just ordered my third pair of Sony MDR7506 professional studio headphones yesterday. They seem to last about 8 or 9 years then the ear piece cushions start disintegrating from all the contact with my scratchy face. I briefly considered looking what else was out there but I’m so used to the weight and feel of these, I’ve been using them since 2005.

                    Only non-witches get due process.

                      The only thing I don't like about mine is that the earpiece is a bit too small. I might consider replacing them with something that's more "over the ear-ish".

                        Mine are very much that. i think they were pretty high end when i got them in 2005. But they're still a good seller, you can see them stocked at bricks and mortar retailers to this day.

                          Those are the ones I'm upgrading from. I'm hoping to be able to hear a difference, but we'll see. The Sennheiser 650 will be more comfortable in any case.

                                    I bought the Petrof pianos yesterday. Now my office is rather cluttered with 5 concert grand pianos.

                                      Those aren't necessarily my best headphones. I have a pair of Stax electostatic ear-speakers and with a Stax Class A amplifier that sound nice as well. Sadly, I spend the majority of my time listening to music through my iPhone and my bone conduction headphones. I have a pair of inexpensive Sennheisers I use with the bedroom stereo.

                                        I don't use headphones.
                                        If I have to listen to my crappy playing, so does everyone else.

                                          I use headphones to cancel the noise when I mow the lawn or use the leaf blower.
