It's called listening fatigue. The break that you give yourself so doing allows
the ear to recover. Now try it the other way round !

Hmmm I read somewhere that the opposite is usually in play. There seems
to be a common bias to prefer the second smaple in an A/B comparison.


Which is what I said.



If listner fatigue were the cause then A would be the prefered
component since that listening took place with less fatigue.
