I guess we are talking about the ones from chipforbrains?

Mine too.  He does say "last revision" in his ads.

I only have three but I did test all three and
they're absolutely fine.  No fakes or anything (if that
was what was suggested).  Chipforbrains is a Good Trader
anyway, in my experience.

I didn't exactly A/B them against my Mono/Poly, but my
gut feeling says that they sound "the same".  That is,
I have them in my modular and the filter sounds like
my Mono/Poly.

Chipforbrains mentions in his ad: "Mixing old and
new filters revisions may cause harmonic differences."
I would expect that anyway.  So be careful to judge
them against other revision 2044's.  They're bound
to sound slightly different.
