John - That's a very interesting phenomenon you observe. On one hand, some recordings tend to sound the same (or at least very consistent) to me over the years, regardless of how I've changed my system/equipment. On the other, there are a few recordings where a later listening makes me wonder, just as you were wondering, about earlier impressions and criticisms based on listening via previous systems. And that doesn't even account for the psychological state you might have been in when you listened previously - IOW, it may have been us, our equipment, or some combination of the two! ;-)
