Thanks Lyle, I had not thought of changing the delay on afx which I use all the time. I wear hearing aids which may be part of my problem though I take them off when using headphones. I'll try PB2 in CW and see how that works. Don't get me wrong - the audio od the K3 is excellent just different than my K2.
