You'd think so, but it's the new pair that sounds better than the old. I'm confident that my auditory memory is accurate as I had a problem with graininess right from the get-go on my previous pair and it didn't improve with break in.
This is pretty interesting. Got to directly compare a Clear Professional to a Utopia and modded HD800 out of a ZDT Jr. and HDVD800 at a friend's place and the Pro was amazingly lean by comparison. This likewise was anomalous to the owner since it contradicted a lot of others' impressions.
LOL - I only sold my Clears 3 months ago before buying them again last week. Not enough palatte cleansing has gone on to change my tastes or perception.
I think you're on the money re sample variation. A whole different beast, or rather the same beast but without the birth defects.
