RE: I guess I'm confused by your response

If you heard it set up live,you would hear the difference in depth.realism,and clarity even at the 3200hz range..I could hear some of it in the youtube video but if you heard that setup in a QSO,especially one with vacuum tubes,I would be mighty surprised if you didn't hear the difference between it and the Icom.The AM Ham guys are just like tube audiophiles in that sense because we love that natural realism where you are sitting in the shack and you can hear someone's dog breathing that's in the room with the guy you are talking to about 700 miles away. On sideband tho,the Collins is the only radio I've heard that can come reasonably close to AM quality on the transmit side.Remember,the AM we use is not like what the radio stations transmit because we don't compress our audio as a radio station would.
