[Elecraft] more Bass in K3 with PR-40

[Grant Youngman]

I don't understand something.  Every time on this list someone asks about a bit of fidelity in their audio, the naysayers jump in with all the usual tired counter arguments, usually punctuated by the infamous WWCD (what would Collins do).

Why not just give it a bit of a break for a change.  Huh?  Please, oh please?
