Over the years, I've looked at A LOT of receive audio passbands, but nothing has come close in terms of ruler flatness and bass/treble extension to my 6500.  For your enjoyment, the 6500 USB receive audio passband at 4KHz bandwidth: (click on the image below to see it full size)

    I have a Sonos audio system set up in the house and pipe the output of my 6500 to all the units in every room in the house. The audio is so beautiful, I have to periodically get treated for goose bumps.

    I'm sure the XYL appreciates that :-)

    Yes, she doesn't want my chronic problem of goose bumps to persist.

    Thanks for the complement, Barry.  

    In case you are interested, this is what the two-tone, in-band IMD and harmonic distortion looks like on an audio spectrum analyzer.
