You've got it backwards. The clearest way to tell the difference between two things is to set them side by side and compare them directly. If you put more than a few moments between two very similar sound samples, you can't remember to compare. Auditory memory is very short.
The brain does become acclimated, but it's like going into a room with yellowish light or pinkish light... in a few minutes it seems to be white light. The brain corrects for sustained coloration in sound after a few minutes. After a while, you'll fall into the music and slight differences in sound won't be apparent at all.
See ya
