Well, our ears adapting is reality, too. It's also a well-understood phenomenon, and one not confined to hearing, as you note. On the other hand, equipment "burn-in," if it happens, is not understood at all--no one's ever offered even a plausible hypothesis for how a component (excluding mechanical elements) changes physically that would explain the subjective impressions often reported here. Draw your own conclusions.
Burn in time...Reality or something else???
Hello,
It occurs to that whenever you get a new piece of electronics, speakers, cables or whatever they always seem to sound better after a short "burn-in" time?
Your eyes adapt to low light if you start working at night,
Your body gets used to hot temperatures,
Your sense of smell gets used to the smell of $h!t if you work with horses,
Why not our EARS???
Are they just adapting the new environment?
