"So you think this idea has no merit?"
Please go back and reread my post, especially this sentence: "Are you serious? If so, then I will be delighted to look at the rips."
I have found many cases of files that "should" be the same, bit for bit, that are not. Therefore, I would not discount the possibility that any sonic differences could be easily explained. This would be useful if followed up by a detailed investigation as to how this happened. (It might identify a bug in ripping software, for example.) If the files have identical contents but still sound different then it would be much harder to track down what is going on, as it would require careful experimenters who are also good listeners. They would have to be dedicated to tracking down the "why?" behind the "what?" they heard.
As it turns out, the files in question seem to have suffered from the Cyber Excuse, a modern version of "The dog ate my homework." Maybe the original experimenter can be motivated to repeat his experiments or maybe other people will do similar tests.
