I dunno, the K3S audio actually isn't much better to my ears. Yes, it's a little better on my K3S compared to my K3, but still kind of shrill and fatiguing to listen to for long periods of time.
Do you listen on the internal speaker or on headphones? CW or SSB? Have you used RX EQ to shape the tonal balance? How do you set the IF bandwidth and centering? If headphones, which type/model? If external speaker, which one?
I'm retired from a career in pro audio, including lots of live recordings of acoustic jazz. My operating style is to use the speaker only for casual monitoring when I'm doing something else in the shack, and to help me tune in digital signals. I listen mostly on headphones, both Yamaha CM500 and Sony MDR7506. The Sony headphones are widely used in recording studios, and the sound of the CM500 is pretty close in sound quality. I'm quite satisfied with the sound of my original K3s. I don't use any RXEQ at all.
