I absolutely agree concerning the time required to adapt to a new system. I actually favor more than a half-hour since the first hour all your brain is doing is distinguishing artifacts of the sound that are most obvious. I have a question that begs the point of the discussion. Do you yourself feel there is any merrit or possibility of actualising the term audiophile; does such a characteristic exist in reality. I mean the superficial definition that says one can be adept at perfecting the awareness of quality of sound beyond what an untutored person would be capable of.
