That's good news!!
Before I go that route though (which will require backing everything up, the potential of another reinstall of 10.12.06 if there's a problem, etc.), I'd like to try something else first. I'd love to first have a relatively well running version of 10.12.06 before moving on to backing-up, upgrading, etc. (given all the time we put into this =)
With regard to that, thanks again for the audio improvement suggestion for 10.12.06. I will make that change and see if it helps.
As you mentioned in post#1, members have confirmed that this build also runs on 10.12.06. I'm not sure if the CPU is under-performing with 10.12.06, as you suggested it might (haven't run any benchmarks yet), but some stuff seems sluggish (like doing other stuff while copying files from another HD) and the CPUs were overheating when I did some cpu intensive rendering, so I am wondering if you have any obvious other recommendations (in addition to the audio change) of what (like maybe a symbios change to earlier mac version like 18,3?) I should adjust/change in the conf.list or regarding kexts to improve 10.12.06 performance with this build on Sierra?
I have no idea why you are experiencing sluggishness. Try preventing drives from sleeping to see if it helps.
For overheating, you will have to check the mounting of your CPU cooler. If you are using a water cooler, make sure the pump is running.
