Yes I agree it can be perception. Some people like milk chocolate some like dark chocolate. Some like Swiss and heaven forbid some like Dutch. (I threw that in there for John's benefit). I've even convinced myself that I prefer diet soda to regular. I love my wife's pumpkin pie. I think it is the best. Have you ever had a piece of pumpkin pie that looks great but tastes like cardboard? That is not perception. I've played in a 16 piece big band for 30 years. I know what saxes, clarinets, and trumpets are supposed to sound like. I played clarinet and sax in high school. You can probably convince yourself that the woodwinds and brass on the 2000 sound good but they are cardboard.
