Hello,I do not know about research facts. The No1 fact is that people, who put EFFORT into improving their hearing can detect such changes. With experience, it can be ascertained whether an effect is due to power fluctuation, unborken-in component, reversed phase, amplifier / speaker distortion...
My experience is that the ability to differentiate highly depends on what type of gear one uses. People who listen at high SPLs, and subs, generally have untrained ears, and natural sounding gear improves the perception of sonic qualities over time.
Every type of break in has their characteristic sonic quality. After listening to a number of these, you will be able to tell in your system what is going on.Practice, practice, practice. No free things in life; and money won't buy ears... only the personal endeavor and an open mind.
The unpracticed ear can be fooled by the things you mentioned, but in such a case the person should focus more on improving his hearing than on buying new gear.Good luck!
