Bob,
You may be disappointed.
Since people have yet to quantify what exactly is wrong with K3 auidio,
it's going to be hard to quantify any difference.
I fully expect some people to hear a "big positive difference" when in
fact there may be none.
It may sound different but characterizing it as "better" is going to be
tough.
Some might think it's worse.
This is the problem with something which is so subjective.
If this is your only reason for upgrading, perhaps you ought to hear
before you buy.

To me the audio enhancement for the K3S is expected to be a nice
improvement. Historically some have expressed previous concerns
regarding K3 audio quality, stating it was noted to be "fatiguing".
I had available at my disposal a K3/10 and later a K3/100 the result
of being asked to assemble those for folks that didn't feel qualified
to do so. I agree, the audio, compared to other radios, seemed to be
"strained". With the published information regarding the K3S and its
enhanced audio features, this sure looks like a nice forward step on
behalf of Elecraft.
I'm waiting on my K3S to arrive and I'll add, I'm coming from a long
line of another brand of radio that is noted to have great audio quality.
To explain it another way.........The strength of a chain is defined
by its weakest link.

I just sold my K3 #1210 and finished putting together a loaded K3S

The net cost difference was about $0.07 per day over the time I owned
the
K3. Easy way for me to rationalize!
I don't think Elecraft would have gone to the trouble of doing this
expensive and extensive redesign if there wasn't benefit to the product
now, and more importantly to me, in the future.
I suspect it gives it legs in ways that haven't been disclosed yet.
I really appreciate the cleanup of the cabling on the K3S with USB
and the
internal replacement of the PR6.
At 67 it's likely my last rig. I plan to enjoy it!
