If the SSB Receive (or transmit) audio sounds different on 10, 15, 20 
meters than it does on 40, 75 meters, you should be comparing the sound 
on USB versus LSB. Your SSB audio characteristic should not change at 
all due to changing bands, other than because of the convention of using 
USB above 9 MHz and LSB below 9 MHz. The audio characteristics also 
should not change very much from USB to LSB. If it does change, that is 
an indication that your BFO frequencies are misaligned for one or both 
SSB modes. Another possibility, although not nearly as likely, is a 
partially failed crystal filter with a non-symmetrical passband shape. 
The first thing to do is check the BFO frequencies. If you install new 
filters, of any brand, without getting the BFO frequencies right, you 
will still have a problem.
