[Elecraft] [OT] FT-5000 vs. K3

[Brett Howard]

This is true.  I've heard a few where people take direct recordings and
then we're actually talking.  I usually watch the videos and then when I
hear this audio was directly recorded...  Then I reach over and grab a
pair of headphones.  Beyond that my laptop speakers will do justice to
the level of quality that is there... ;)

Recording a single signal acoustically from a pair of speakers several feet away in an echoey room is the worst way to try to listen critically and try to absorb the sound of a rig. Aside from some slight tonal differences the two receivers sound pretty much the same to me-- and in real life they probably do sound very similar. Did we really expect a significant difference? I agree: not scientific (nor useful) at all.
