I think that our ears may indeed need to "break in" with new equipment. It's well-known that our eyes do the same thing with perscription glasses. Case in point:
When I was first prescribed glasses for astigmatism the doctor explained that for a while I would see straight lines to be curved until my brain learned to straighten them out. I didn't believe him but that's exactly what happened. I'm suggesting that our ears may also have to adapt in a similar fashion. New equipment may have colorations that alter the sound a bit and our brain learns to adapt and make up for the differences somewhat. I'm not suggesting that our ears can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear but it may explain break-in beyond just the electronics. -- Rick B. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rick B.'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8973 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42388 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
