What about burn-in of speakers and headphones? I never bought into the whole equipment burn in idea as it regards sound quality. However, in the past year I bought a pair of headphones (Grado SR-225i) and speakers (Polk Monitor 70) that to my ears sounded better over time.
The Grado headphones sounded as though they developed more bass to me over time. The Polk speakers sounded as though the harshness of the highs smoothed out and the mids became smoother. In the past I have owned equipment (portable cd player, various portable headphones, stereo receiver as examples) that to me sounded "bad" which did not change over time. So I don't think I'm overly susecptable to adapting to poorly sounding equipment because of an investiment I made in it. Even still, I'm skeptical about "burn in", even for speakers and headphones.
