RE: A good thought.

I've had just that experience when comparing things. Apparently the brain overwrites recent data if it hears something it likes better, then uses stored data if the next hearing isn't as good. The upshot is after a while everything sounds about the same. But by morning it resets.

If I'm trying to evaluate several options by listening to the same snippet of music via them I need to identify a few aspects of the "good" one to listen for. Basically none musical things like sibilance or a particular characteristic of an instrument. Once you stop actually listening to the sound as music then the effect seems to stop.

Glad to know I'm not the only one.
