[Elecraft] K2 How is my Audio?

[F5vjc]

Personally I wouldn't trust any over the air comments while trying to
adjust my TX audio.
You must have overheard this fiasco on air!
Almost everyone has a different view of how audio should sound, not to
mention how they have you tuned in and their particular preferences. I
really hate that heavy Bass sound so beloved of the ESSB guys.I know
what I'd like to sound like and it's sharp...or if you like a tendancy
to treble boost in the audio range. I know of course the debate
between contest or DX audio and ragchew audio.
I also think listening to yourself on a monitor receiver via phones is
of limited use  because of the sound colouration due to transmission
through bone structure.

The best I can think of is to record your recovered audio on a monitor
receiver then playback via a loudspeaker and make a judgement,  of
course it's required that the monitor receiver used is not being
overdriven in any way.

This assumes correct set up of TX passband and BFO, then the listening
tests as above.

Any other ideas?
