I think Mike that hearing a second hand playback of a receiver,
perhaps via a speaker and mike, but not necessarily likely doesn't
give you a really good handle on how it sounds. When, a few years
ago I bought my IC756 PRO III I went to A E S in Milwaukee and tried
several different receivers and got what I did because of the
ergonomics and sound. Awfully hard to get that feel via a recording.
Good luck.
