[QUOTE="capetownwatches, post: 1021566, member: 19576"] What I do know for a fact is that brain burn-in does occur - it has to, because that's how our senses function. We get used to a particular sound presentation and that becomes our normal until we hear something else. Thus a headphone on day 5 will sound different to us than on day 1. Can we (accurately) remember exactly what it sounded like on day 1 though...? When I first got my (pre-owned) LCD2 I found it veiled and dark. Nearly returned it. I was urged to give it a week. After a week you would have needed to pry it from my cold, dead hands... Technically it is possible that some dynamic headphones might change signature from brand new due to very small changes to the driver/suspension itself. However I don't believe I've ever seen this proven by measurements. My take therefore is that it's (almost) all in the head. [/QUOTE]
