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?

I'm in Denver on business this week and I've rented a Volvo S80. Driving from the airport, I thought the radio sounded really poor. After three days, you know, it sounds pretty sweet. Was it breaking in?

Not that there aren't electrical and mechanical things going on, but this is more in our heads than many of you will acknowledge, I think.
