I love the way scientists and engineers think their profession adds any credibility. It hobbles you and you become a victim of your education as well as the way you choose to view the world.
Of course the cans which were a past reference are no longer your current reference when you find something that sounds better. They dont sound bad, they just dont sound as good. Or if you are referring to the new reference as the source then they sound exactly the same as they did with different formats or music. The music changes nothing intrinsic about the cans.
I respect your views, but you actually dont understand and I think this may be my point. When you absolutely know then why bother to grow or keep an open mind.
