Acoustical Voodoo

I think it's the amazing human brain constantly adjusting, filtering/compensating and translating/interpreting what we hear. It's adjusting to new input which'll become the new standard at one point. You'd have to "re-learn" te appreciate your "old sound" again, especially if it has flaws that are now no longer there.

That's an interesting thought, but why then do most of us see change as positive when our brain was quite "comfortable" with the old setup. I rarely hear someone comment that a new piece of equipment, cable, upgrade, etc., sounded worse than what they had before ...
