Okay, good.  I knew my ears weren't perfect, but it was a little depressing 
to think there might be someone out there with ears *that* much better than 
mine.

As I said, your problem might be the known high frequency boost.  Doing ABX 
testing of your samples, when I'd subtract the original from the compressed 
version, the difference was a high frequency white noise, basically in 
rhythm with the "instrument" you were complaining sounded different.

As you've read, Segher thinks he knows how to fix the HF boost issue.  If 
that's in fact what you're hearing, and if he can fix it (or tell one of the 
others how to), your problem is solved.
