It's a recording I've listened to countless times via numerous pressings and even on reel to reel thus I'm extremely familiar with it and with this particular pressing.I had both cartridges on identical tonearms (Moerch blue dot precision for the DP-6) aligned identically which made it very easy to switch back and forth. Say what you will but the difference was very noticable.
So other than placebo effect; given nothing else changed what would you attribute the changes to? Unit variation?
It is indeed possible, I suppose, to have had a poor example of an Airy2 and an excellent Airy3. Yet, in going from a standard Airy2 to the Airy2 silver base I noticed changes that were much more subtle. If I 'wanted to hear' a huge improvement, why not then?
Thus, before stating that I need to listen more closely, I suggest you actually do take a listen before forming an opinion based solely on conjecture.
