I am a bit suspicious of burn in too Ian. Is it the product burning in or the listener becoming accustomed to the change in sound?
Our hearing is extremely effective at compensating for changes and cancelling out the unexpected, otherwise we would find listening to concerts in different venues disconcerting.
It is quite instructive to listen to different microphone positions. There is no psychological compensation for environment then, and the actual difference in sound is actually considerably greater than one perceives by moving to the microphone locations in person since we compensate so effectively.
