So far this topic has been primarily focused on the equipment. I wish someone with expertise in human hearing and brain processing would chime in. Take for example, our sense of taste. We can take something disgusting such as the very first drag on a cigarette and over time have a love and a preference of one brand over another. Same thing with alcoholic beverages. So why not hearing? The first few days we don't care for how our system sounds but then it begings to sound better. Equipment VS brain processing. Anyone out their with medical or psych info on this?
