I think your reference of appreciating a recording being a personal experience and a journey is a good one.
One thing that is regularly mentioned by people on the forums, is that new firmware for their systems needs to settle in for a few days before the sound becomes stable. I do feel that itās mostly the apprehension and extra attention to perceived changes that needs to settle, rather than the system itself.
Yeah I have not understood thatā¦possibly its getting used to sonic landscapeā¦
I gather a Vitamin B Flat pill is the key to listening to some music.

I do agree with thisā¦ though I do accept when you powercycle or restart a streamer some of them do take a little time to settle down to provide the performance we are used to. Certainly in my experience.
A firmware change requires a restart.
Do people really approach music listening needing to be impressed?
Regarding hearing unfamiliar music, to me it is nice to discover a good artist or piece of music, that I enjoy that was previously unfamiliar to me, but I donāt regard it as particularly important to do so as I already have a collection that provides huge amounts of stimulation and listening pleasure - rather it is a nice bonus when it happens. But I avoid listening to the genres I really donāt like, such as jazz, pop, soul, etc., because the unpleasantness of wading through so much I donāt like in the hope of stumbling across the odd exception would turn me off listening.
Some years ago I used to record everything before I went away to sea in RN. I noticed that recordings made late at night or very early in the morning were of better quality.
I assume this was due to less ambient noise, less vibrations and reduced interference on the mains supply.
Yes, my system always sounds better after midnight, and really good at 3am!
