I had the same feeling when I tried the one of them new EBMM Stingrays, it sounded tinny and unpleasant. I own a pre-EB Stingray and I swear I would sell my both of my kidneys before I'm to part with it (depressingly, this scenario is not wholly unimaginable, for I am a student - somewhat educated but have no place in society). It is a lot warmer, yet still retaining that punch. But apparently I just got lucky as some people tend to think that these older Stingrays were a little inconsistent in quality...
