We can be fooled in short-term listening, but I find, not in the long-term.
How do you feel after an hour or several hours of listening?
Follow Ups:
When the result of a change has a clear negative, I completely agree with your assertion. However, if the result is truly 'neutral' (let's call it 'no measurable change' ;-), there is nothing to correct an initial positive impression which is borne of expectation. It can become a persistent impression. Although the sound itself may not really change, one's enjoyment of it very well can...in a self reinforcing manner.
So much of our perception is the product of 'zombie' neural processes (and chemistry) that it's really impossible to tease the (surprisingly malleable) phenomenon fully into the light of consciousness.
I find myself in agreement with you. If anything turns out not to my liking the sound will eventually grate on me, during long term listening even though it goes unnoticed in short-term listening.
