Sverre, What's great about this vocabulary (and Ed, W0YK, who is a master vintner may want to comment) is that you can use this same wonderfully imprecise audio vocabulary to describe another object of notoriously subjective taste -- wine. For example, I've been tempted to hit Ed with the following for one of his Muns Vineyard Pinot Noir vintages: "Solid bass, a bit lacking in the mid-range, but with a good top end." 73, andy, ae6y ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sverre Holm" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 06, 2009 2:29 PM Subject: [Elecraft] K3 Hissy and Noisy Audio
Audio is notorious for having a very subjective vocabulary, and this may make it hard to understand what is meant. I hear terms like hissy, rounder, lack of bass etc in this discussion. In an attempt to make this discussion more to the point I would suggest this list compiled by Bruce Bartlett from Pro Audio 1997. I find it helpful in making discussions focused: http://www.linkwitzlab.com/images/graphics/sd-qulty.gif According to the list, I would suggest that those who have a problem with the K3 audio look up these terms: 'bright', 'edgy', 'grainy', 'grungy', 'hard', 'harsh', 'muddy', 'piercing', 'thin' to find what best describes what they hear. That may give a common ground for describing the effects.
