I read the whole thing, too. It appears that the improvements are measurable... 
the only question is, "Is it worth the trouble?" It is obviously an awful lot of 

work. Another question one must answer is, "Am I willing to accept the decrease 
in my K3's resale value?" after you are done cutting traces on boards and so 
forth.

Have you ever heard your K3 overloading due to strong signals? Would you even 
know what it sounded like if it were happening? If not, I doubt these mods are 
worth it.

I'm sure there are cases where overload does occur but it isn't common.

It would have been cool to hear recordings of the same signal on both K3s to 
hear the difference.
