"you are now comparing differences with [the masters], not the medium"
True, and even worse it's them AND the medium, so whose to blame?
Even 'identical' CD's played on the same chain may not sound the same. Back in the green pen days I bought three of the first Stereophile test CD's because they were 3/$10 or something and glad I did. Being the diligent experimentalist and all I made sure that the two test samples sounded the same prior to gooping one's edge and they didn't! So I tried the third and fortunately it sounded the same as one of the others so I was in business. And after gooping it they still sounded the same...
