Hi Confused,
In your case you've not only introduced one single new component but have also disconnected, moved, bended and refitted all cables etc. while you reorganised your racks. Everything needs to settle in, or back in. I hope you've also paid some attention to 'cable dressing' so how you wired your cables, eg. no signal cables running close and in parallel to power cables, putting some distance between digital and analog interconnects/speaker cables etc. Cleaning all contacts and plugs would also have been good practice while you had the chance/opportunity.
Anyway I believe burn in, break in, settling in, adjusting mentally or whatever you want to call it and whatever mechanisms are at play (at an electrical, physical, psychological, quantum, ... level) is a real phenomenon. Plenty of arguments pro and con can of course be found on numerous websites/forums so I myself will not try to repeat those here.
Enjoy the ride or just relax and keep it softly playing at night and hope it'll be over soon!
