Exactly!
I remember the trail of audio tears well.
The difference back then being they had never heard a receiver as good
as the K3 and all it was picking up compared to their Yaecomwood.
Couldn't possibly be their favorite old radio had been feeding them the
RF equivalent of mush and passing it off as "great audio"?

Friends,
Perhaps it is because I largely operate CW but for me the original K3
audio is just lovely. I am 71, my hearing is not so great but I use the
lowest pitch possible around 360 Hz and have RX EQ set for good performance
at low frequencies. It is just a sweet sound to me and so restful. Maybe
if I was a phone man the story would be different though I do monitor SSB
and work it for rare DX and it also sounds good.
Could it be that the great flexibility in setting up the audio results
in some people being put off as they have not found the sweet spot for their
ears. I seem to remember a few years ago many people had troubles with
the FT2000 because it was complex to set up. There were also people who
did not like the Orion II again because setting the radio up initially was
problematic for them.
