Thank you for this informative a/b, Ted. It appears I'm late to this party, and otherwise resurrecting the thread. Fast-forward to 1/2018...as a professional musician, I've enjoyed the K-03 in our home 2-channel system for 4 yrs now, replacing a x-03se of several yrs prior. Now we have an opportunity to acquire a preowned K-01 and struggling with pulling the trigger. Current pre-owned values have brought the K-03 & K-01 fairly close, so the investment difference is somewhat minimal (estim. 3k). Would it be fair to say your a/b experience of a few yrs ago suggests its well worth the trade up?
