I find the Orion II audio muddy in general. Funny you would post this
because I am in the process of making an audio file to send service myself.
Compared to the Pro III and Jupiter II, the Orion seems to have very little
audio response.

Subject: [TenTec] AM Receiver distortion in Orion II
One of the items on my "wish list" for the Orion II is to fix the AM receive
audio, which sounds to me like a problem in the DSP code that causes
distortion and 'muddy' sound. It's most noticeable during selective fades
that cause a serious clipping effect. Last night, I made an MP3 of a local
AM radio station comparing the O2 to a TS-870, and sent it to TT service.
This morning, TT said they couldn't hear any difference between the two
receivers. Is it my ears or what? The link to the clip is below. The O2
is the first 60 seconds and the 870 is the second 60 seconds. Bandwidth on
the O2 is 6 kHz, while the 870 is 3 kHz, although as you'll hear, it sounds
just the opposite!

Can anyone besides me hear the difference?
