[Elecraft] CW rise time

According to my friends and according to MP3 files they have made for me,
the CW note from my K3 serial number 152 sounds fine.  Not as hard as my K2
and not too soft.  I see there is a modification to change the rise time
from 8 to 5 milliseconds by installing a different capacitor  at C222 on the
RF board.  I wonder what value cap is present in currently shipping K3's?
Wonder what people have thought about the change in the CW waveform after
changing this capacitor?

I know there are those who will say if it ain't broke, don't fix it.  But
it's the true Elecraft spirit to make something good even better.

 Please answer off list as well as on as I get the reflector in digest form
only.  Thanks!
