[Elecraft] K3 Hissy and Noisy Audio

[Mike Scott]

>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:

>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.

 

Okay, based on the referenced descriptions I can 100% definitely with
absolute assurance say that my K3 audio is edgy, grainy, grungy and
strident. Now can we get on with a solution?
