Audio on R-5000: I loved everything about that radio except the way it
sounded. I tried every possible outboard speaker and notch filter and IF
shift, still, the dang thing wore me out after a half-hour or so. I
don't give a damn what the magazines or reviewers say about it, the
radio really was a pain in the ear. Had to sell it. Also, the radio is
sold with 3, not 4 filters. Yes, the knob has 4 positions, but there are
only 3 filters installed as sold new. I did later install the 4th one,
but it involved drilling and cutting the circuit board and creating a
new circuit trace. Turned out OK, though. Still did not improve things
enough to keep the thing.
