Update.
I might have figured "it" out....
The issue I had with the Alt8 is that is was hot - waaay hot. I figured the best solution was to go lower (from the strings). This only resulted in sounds ranging from "not good" to "bad".
One day out of desperation or a last ditch effort to maybe salvage some thing from the PUP, I raised it pretty much all the way up to where it (almost) touched the strings, and from there lowered it in small increments.
To my surprise I found that the optimal position is a lot closer to the strings than the standard/default/recommended setup.
Conclusion:
I still don't really like the Alt8 as it is ridicoulusly loud - loud to the point where it clips the input of my audio interface even with the gain at zero.
But properly setup (1.8-2.0mm distance from the strings) , it sounds pretty good...
