of course the length of the springs and the number of springs are also
part of the sound, but i have found that even identical specs but a
different year can make a *huge* difference in sound. basically you have
to try before you buy if possible and check if there's enough hi end,
even up to 8kHz or more. that's more or less a sign that everything is ok
