That's been my experience as well on the few times I get on SSB.  Completely unsolicited reports, with both a CM500 and a Heil Proset with the iC electret mic.

I wanted to pass along to you Elecraft engineers my experience during this event.  I am a CW-only op for the most part and really never hear signal quality reports other than the obligatory 5xx. Switching reluctantly to SSB and swinging down that odd foam thing which usually resides over my head I received numerous comments like: "Best signal of the day here, very clean audio!" and "Wow! It sounds like you are in the room here, excellent audio"  and "Your signal is audible above the pileup because it is so clear!" and a few others which really surprised me.  Who knew you could actually send your voice through a ham radio!

I take no credit for any of this other than turning the rig on. I heard many crappy sounding SSB signals during this event, some even difficult to understand despite good signal strength and I appreciate Elecraft making the K3 operate so well, I believe it was a real advantage.  I can only hope the K4 will build on this quality!
