The short auditory memory seems to be a misunderstanding due to the fact that the "echoic memory" exists, that only last for a couple of seconds.
After this first state there were the same short term and long term memory mechanisms working as for our other senses.
Apparently we wouldn´t bother about reproduction quality as we would never remember the former quality, if we only had a short auditory memory. 🙂

ANNEALING!
I belive when drawing wire, rolling foil etc the standard practice is to anneal the metal over a period of time to remove the stresses and improve its ductility.
I begin to wonder how any electrical signal manages to fight its way down any cable
or PCB trace, let alone the internet work! IThere no wonder the first signal sent across the Atlantic took 17 hours. but without some pointers to what is being effected its all getting a bit on the Heavyside.

Although we do 'remember' former quality, the 'memory' itself is not always accurate, yet we tend to trust it implicitly.
What i should of said is also It is done numerous times during the forming process so it can be worked more.
That'd be my contention.
What does 'greasy' and 'smoky' sound like?
You will always hear what you want to hear. If you believe there's a difference, you will likely hear it. Objective testing however will show that in fact, there is no difference in audibility.
I think I was poking fun about this very thing @ John Curl about 12 pages back... Regardless, no one show that they can hear a difference.
Not sure why they also call it Canadian bacon. We eat the regular 'greasy' stuff like the rest of you. Of course, double smoked is my favourite. Wait, we might have sum-ting here.
Oh darn we're off topic. Bad AJ.
I'm not sure anything is going to be off topic when trying to come up with an explanation as to why Teflon would sound greasy.
I figured the back bacon thing might be as good as any.
It's obvious to me, Teflon feels greasy and PVC smells burnt when you solder it.

Eheh all funny replies there.
Well we have been atributing physical properties to certain aspects of sound to better describe them:
CD-player A is "thin-sounding" while CD-player B sounds "thicker";
Loudspeaker X midrange sounds too "dry", but the woofer has some "solid" bass while the tweeter sounds "cristaline", adding some pleasant "textures" blah-blah.
So I say Teflon sounds like grease and PVC sounds like smoke, or fumes! Before the burn-in, not after, eheh. So yeah, I can´t describe it any better, so use your imagination🙂

Very good. I´ve thought of that. I made the cables, so I knew how Teflon felt to touch and how PVC stinks. It probably has something to do with how perception works. Apples dont taste as nice to people with a cold.
Maybe there´s also a tactile memory that fades out after a few hours, which would explain the "post-burn-in" (lack-of) effects.

That is the human nature?! 🙂
But overall, like the most other human abilities, this one can be trained too. Learning to be "aware" and learning to listen, which means to involve as most areas of the brain as possible during categorization and storing brings a better working aural memory.
The state of "awaraness" helps to retrieve a maximum of the information already stored in memory.
But, accurate in the sense of perfect? Wouldn´t be human. 🙂

I've heard that the premium versions use the small intestine of sheep to provide the "snap" we all enjoy when utilizing this product 😎
The synthetic versions pale in comparison 😉😀
here are some other configurations... being "burned in" 😎
