I agree and have something to add (big surprise, eh?).

Whenever a change is made, we tend to listen differently. The wild changes that some people document during break-in probably have more to do with their own perceptual systems than anything 'breaking in' in their stereo systems. There are some things which actually do break-in, but that doesn't alter the statement about perception.

'Critical listening' is a prescription for finding imaginary sonic changes, and I've been just as guilty as the next guy in making this error. The more I learn about the functioning of the human perceptual system, the more cautious I am about making some of these judgments. Our brains are key (and active) components of our sound systems, but most people completely ignore their influence.

Peace and harmony in marriage = the wife is right. That sounds a bit condescending, but it's not meant that way. It's just a good shortcut to admit that I'm wrong, apologize, and move on. The fact of the matter is that it's true more often than not anyway.
