I think it likely that how we make those comparisons is greatly biased by how we were feeling then, how we are feeling now and how we think we were feeling back then. Audiophiles like to believe they can can differentiate things because that is their superpower that makes them what they are - look on any forum - all forums - and it is all about how people 'feel' about things. And everyone feels strongly about their experiences but few can really prove what they claim. Now that is fine for people enjoying a non-quantifiable hobby and though I'd like to see some people's dubious claims put to the test, it is probably better not to as knowledge usually doesn't lead to happiness.
I would love to see reviewers tested though:)
As for musicians, I don't think it matters what their aural memories are - as long as they play the right notes, in the right order influenced by how they feel today. And is Yo-Yo Ma really getting better?
