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?

Bomarc's got it: human ear/brain adaptive filtering takes what, 20 minutes? Speaker surround, spider and dome burn-in can take hundreds of hours. Cable/electronics burn-in is something I don't quite understand on the molecular level (except the dielectric-easing bit), but I've experienced it too.
