You make an excellent point, Guy, one that was echoed by a couple of friendly off-reflector comments as well.
I used to be bugged by the TV horizontal sweep oscillators too. But long ago my hearing was "adjusted" by long-term exposure to lots of weapons firing while in the Army including thousands of rounds from a 30 cal M1 rifle on my shoulder. Soldiers didn't wear ear protectors even though the firing often left us deaf for hours. I'm no big fan of DSP in spite of the "advantages" it offers. I vastly prefer a good, linear, analog system. I don't have a problem with solid state, but in my homebrew receivers I usually eschew the simple integrated circuit audio amplifiers in favor of discrete component class A amplifiers, at least to headphone levels. Even today I can still hear the difference between the compromise amplifiers used in a lot of gear and a good linear amplifier, but I hadn't noticed anything unusual in the K3 audio.
