I believe there are scientific as well as mental reasons for what you are describing. First, systems build up magnetic fields due to DC voltage being present. A new componet will take awhile, but will fall victum to this effect just like anything else in the system. Using a product like Denson's DeMagic or the Ayre's DeMag disc will do wonders to restore the magic. Also, all connections oxidize over time and need to be reterminated with a touch of silver and/or some type of Deox spray. Cleaning cable spades with a brass cleaner will make a surprising difference over time. In short, a super high end system requires commitment and maintenance just like a fine sports car. Making a big commitment to high end without a corresponding commitment to keep everything working at top performance is in many ways asking for an emotional let-down. Even the very best products need some TLC from time to time to keep providing the experience they were designed to provide.
Upgrade...Sounds great...Goes away
Has anyone experienced this?
You upgrade your system, componenet, cable etc
You reach another level of detail, transparency etc
You listen to a few of your records/sacd's etc and you cant believe how much better it sounds
You wait a few days and the perceived effect is not really noticable or is pretty much diminished
So you have to repeat step one
