[Elecraft] Compare: K3 to Collins S-line receiver

[Henry Pollock - K4TMC]

Yes, I would like to here what others can add to this thread.  One of my
past hobbies was high-end tube audio electronics, and in numerous set-ups,
they sounded superior to solid-state equipment.

So, my additional question would be...is the microprocessor
noise/distortion affecting the RF signal or just the AF signal, or both?

73,
Henry - K4TMC
