I agree with you about that. OTOH, I was simply responding to your question.
I know I know, don't take me seriously please!

Is it everything in my head?
I know what I heared
Everything is in your head all the time.Is it everything in my head?
Everything is in your head all the time.
I am gonna repeat: Sensory adaptation:
"Sensory adaptation refers to a reduction in sensitivity to a stimulus after constant exposure to it. While sensory adaptation reduces our awareness of a constant stimulus, it helps free up our attention and resources to attend to other stimuli in the environment around us."
Do you drink beer or coffee? Remember the first time you had it? It was probably gross and your taste became more discerning with time.
People who consume cannabis often have to change the varieties to keep their bodies from building a tolerance.
The body is a flawed thing trying to understand a world beyond its comprehension. Don't fret.
Perhaps he is but one doesn't need to read beyond the title page.He's intolerably long-winded, but the "Recovering Audiophile" seems to have a good take on this topic.
It is primarily adaptation but it is also that you do not ever really "hear" directly what is coming in through your ears (Same for eyes or nose or........). With very few exceptions, all of our perceptions are filtered through pathways which extract certain feature parameters and that process also shapes/selects on the basis of memory and central state. The latter two vary over time.Thanks, it is probably something like that, although I "hear things that I didn't earlier", so rather than reduction in sensitivity I probably grew spider powers
Well, maybe. But it's an example of a guy who's been immersed in audiophileness for many years finally starting to think with some objectivity.....or at least verbalize it.Perhaps he is but one doesn't need to read beyond the title page.
First, I'd like to let everyone on this site how lucky they are to have me bring real objective facts to these discussions.
Second, please note Amirm is misreading what Klipsh and other speaker companies are saying because those instructions are written for the average consumer, who can't be expected to understand what they are doing. In Klipsh's defense they are making the assumption that when you buy your first set of speakers, you're also probably buying your first set of speaker cables. It is the CABLES that need to be broken in.
Here is an objective, fact based link everyone should memorize from Moon Audio:
https://www.moon-audio.com/audio-cable-break-in-time
Speaker cables need 40 hours of break in, and Moon Audio says NOTHING about speakers, because they do NOT need break in. Klipsh simply can't risk that a buyer understands the difference between breaking in their speakers or breaking in their cables, so they cover both by simply saying to break in the speakers.
So in Amirm's test results, since he was using BROKEN IN cables, objectivists like myself never expected there to be a difference.
This is basic science I'm trying to convey here, so please don't take my "I'm better than you" attitude negatively. I'm just trying to teach you the nuances in writing effective user manuals.
I imagine break-in is real, for the split second upon first operation.
In all seriousness though. It's very interesting to see no driver was ever created where after break-in it sounds worse. It's always a benefit it seems to people...
That probably has more to do with re-stringing before each game being too much effort for most amateurs. I don't doubt that there is a change, and it makes sense that players would prefer consistency whether it's the fresh or settled state.Maybe we are all amateurs. I know in Tennis lots of recreational player like their string bed after it settles down, which can vary from sitting for 24 hours, play for 1-2 hours etc. But pros like their string job fresh and only use them for 30 mins or so before switching to another one.
Is it the speakers breaking in? Or maybe your ears getting broken in (i.e. accustomed to) the sound profile of the speaker?
