[Elecraft] K3 Hissy and Noisy Audio

[Sverre Holm]

Audio is notorious for having a very subjective vocabulary, and this may make it hard to understand what is meant. I hear terms like hissy, rounder, lack of bass etc in this discussion. In an attempt to make this discussion more to the point I would suggest this list compiled by Bruce Bartlett from Pro Audio 1997. I find it helpful in making discussions focused: http://www.linkwitzlab.com/images/graphics/sd-qulty.gif

According to the list, I would suggest that those who have a problem with the K3 audio look up these terms:

 'bright', 'edgy', 'grainy', 'grungy', 'hard', 'harsh', 'muddy', 'piercing', 'thin'

 to find what best describes what they hear. That may give a common ground for describing the effects.
