Being serious for a moment .. I did bring up the dialect angle, yes, mainly because I read the papers you'd linked and thought they were not quite as complete an answer as you seem to think. I was also pointing out that speech intelligibility improves through exposure to *any* speech pattern over time, as a totally separate effect from an adaptation to the tonal balance or audio quality. I would agree that speech intelligibility could be a similar effect to the perception of detail in an audio system and see how this research is relevant to -that- aspect alone, but I don't think that's what most people report as being the main effects of "burn in", real or not. My reading of threads about burn-in, or even warm-up, on hifi equipment more often than not talk about "more bass" or "less bass", which if that were the only difference has really no impact on speech recognition capability. So, care to have a stab at a sensible reply? -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS 7.9.0 Music: ~1300 CDs, as 450 GB of 16/44k FLACs.
