[TenTec] Audio improvements on Argonaut VI

I have NO experience in all those test thingys. I just have 20+ years of listening, and using my ears, and what's between them, to determine how to wring the most performance from whatever rig I am using at the moment. Some folks can't understand why I complain that Icom will not allow me to use the Auto-notch function, AND engage a tunable audio notch simultaneously. Because SOMETIMES it allows copy where either one alone will not. 

Above: Fact.
Below: Theory (mine):

The higher performance rigs are becoming more susceptible to variations in performance from one rig to the next (same model), due to variations in COMPONENT to COMPONENT differences.... i.e. differences within the same part number.

Back in my hole, still with no test experience.

 Thanks Bob, but I think I have a clue.  People
 who actually know me (and my
 background)
 also think I have a clue.  I regularly use high-end audio
 test
 equipment in my noise, level, and
 distortion measurements.  Audio test
 equipment includes a Tektronix AA-501A analyzer
 with an ultra-low-distortion
 SG-505
 module.  The Tek equipment is visible on the operating desk
 as shown
 on my QRZ.com page.  I also use
 SpectraPlus software with a pro-grade sound
 card.
 
 I stand
 by my prior comments.
