I don't own an Icom and likely never will so I can't compare. I do have some Yaesu radios and a Kenwood TS-520 to compare and coming back to the K3 is relaxing to me. > The reason behind is the artifacts from K3 DSP.

My K3 came with the later version DSP and I don't notice artifacts nor is the K3 audio "tiring". > While I am not young and over 50, I can still hear up to > 12KHz. Perhaps, this is the reason why I am very sensitive to DSP > artifacts. I'm very similar but one thing I did right away is to set the RX EQ to roll off all frequencies above 4 kHz or so as much as possible for SSB (for CW my settings are even more aggressive). I don't use the K3 for AM broadcast listening so anything above those frequencies is useless for SSB audio and attenuated to the greatest extent possible. It's also likely that I would have no idea of what artifacts would sound like either. ;-) 73, Nate, N0NB -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
