[Elecraft] K3:DSP Upgrade well worth it

[Craig]

Hi folks

I just completed the DSP upgrade  board swap. I would just like to say that its well worth it.   The K3 sounds much better and smoother. 

The first impression  that you get is that the receiver sounds calm and quite. The harshness and sharp sound has mostly gone. The receiver does  not sound like it has excessive bass, nor does it sound hollow  or mushy.The receiver sounds very much like a very good analog receiver. It actually sounds warm, rich  and very  pleasing to the ears.

So for those thinking  about it, I would recommend that you do  the upgrade. This upgrade would be  especially applicable if you have very good hearing and notice all these artifacts that many have spoken about..

I have not measured anything, these are just anecdotal observations. Some people might  say  that these claims amount to audiophile  voodoo, however I am not a ESSB freak!  

Anyhow I am very happy with this voodoo upgrade!
