Upgrade...Sounds great...Goes away


Has anyone experienced this?

You upgrade your system, componenet, cable etc
You reach another level of detail, transparency etc
You listen to a few of your records/sacd's etc and you cant believe how much better it sounds
You wait a few days and the perceived effect is not really noticable or is pretty much diminished
So you have to repeat step one

The best thing to do with ANY upgrade is to unwind it after a little while to make sure that the changes you are hearing are actually improvements and not just differences. Yes, you will get used to them over time and just fold them into your expectations.

Another truism is when you go listen to someone else's system and you don't hear those same improvements/changes that you got from your upgrade. Remember, everyone's reference is their own system, and you know that sound intimately. Other people's systems are based on their ears and preferences and may not correspond with yours.
