Why no “Break in” period?

nonoise,
What you are describing appears to be mainly recognizing a sound, which is different from remembering subtle characteristics of that sound. You can recognize a sound or image even when it is very distorted, like a persons voice on a noisy phone line, or being able to read sentences even when every 5th character is removed.

We can remember sounds. Ask any early hominid if he remembers the sound of that big cat who ate his friend last week.

All the best,
Nonoise

It was good back then to have slower friends....

That is what audio is all about you seem to be confused, disoriented, or distracted this is so obvious it is painful! 

1+ atdavid. I was going to make that response but you beat me to it.
We all can recognize a cat meow or a dog bark. Some of us can recognize middle C. That is a far cry from remembering what a complex set of noises sounded like and comparing them to another set of complex noises.
clearthink as I explained above making an audio evaluation is a lot more complex than identifying a tone or recognizable pattern like the cat meow
or your wife yelling at you to turn the volume down. atdavid is anything but confused, disoriented or distracted. It is your comment that is painful.
