[Elecraft] KX1 headphones

What an imaginative and creative response!   You say in effect that all
those purpose-designed limited frequency response audio devices that
communcations engineers have created for many decades are completely
unnecessary if only one has a properly designed receiver.  Please, give us some
examples of such receivers which are not aided by the use of properly
designed narrow response audio devices.

We were discussing the KX1.  Is that on your list?  Do you contest the benefit
of narrow response headphones here?   (HINT:  I have many receivers better
than the KX1, still proper frequency response limited headsets help.)

If you have no valid list, your assertion is gratuitous.

Aside from this <null> list, most people do not design the receiver they are using,
nor do they choose one designed elsewhere, with the goal of obtaining one that
allows them to use entertainment quality headphones to no disadvantage, when
when something of narrower response is better.

Here are the facts:  Regardless of receiver design, even for communication receivers
of the highest quality, it is ALWAYS very helpful to use properly designed 
communications headsets, as opposed to expensive (or cheap) hi-fi entertainment sets.
There are NO exceptions to this.
