For sure...
I had an interesting experience like this though as while I was waiting for this preorder, I sold my HE400s in response to a wanted ad and wanted something in the interim. Having liked the T1s in the past, I saw a good deal on the Beyer T90s and got them in.
At first I didn't really like them but got used to the sound and came to think that they sounded pretty good. After messing around with the HE560s though, I went back to "remember" and boy, the t90s did not sound anywhere near as good as I had acclimatized myself to accepting.
My response was more to the seemingly subtle and interesting "warm and cold" comment and Jerg's response.
That wine experiment didn't catch all the experts with their pants down but it highlighted that bias plays a very great role in perception.
