I have heard that if you use Boston speakers you'll get "More than a 
Feeling'.

I've found that if you do the "daughter card" audio mod (3.5Khz audio roll 
off) on the K3's DSP board that you will find listening to the audio for 
hours upon hours MUCH easier on the ears.  I was able to tell the difference 
as soon as I turned the rig back on.  It's not one of those kinds of things 
that you say "wow, that sounds so much better!" it's more like you say to 
yourself, wow, I'm not getting tired out listening to all this noise.  It's 
more of a feeling than a sound.  So when people ask me, does it sound 
better, my answer is no, but it sure does feel a lot more comfortable.  This 
could be the fatigue you're speaking about Martin.
