Dennis - Thanks for the post. I’ve had a K3 for about five years and have really liked the feel/sound of it’s keying. Got a KX3 about a year ago and immediately noticed that is just didn’t sound the same as big brother. Not bad, but just not the same. I pretty much ignored it, as it wan’t really troubling me. But when I saw your post, I thought I’d see if that makes a difference for me. One word: WOW! I dropped my setting down to 1.05 as you suggested and now, on my KX3, it is perfect - for me, anyway. And the spacing/weight seems (to me) to be exactly like what big brother produces.
Thanks!
