DISCUSSION: "It only comes out at night". Does anyone else have this experience!?

Its said to be because the power grid is not as congested at night due to closed businesses. Therefore the grid has less pollution.

As to cars running better @cd318 , I hadn't thought about that since I was a kid with my 1st car. Indeed that car DID run better at night. I suspect it did so because the air is cooler and provides more oxygen. It ran better in the rain also. But those old vacuum windshield wipers made you keep your foot out of the throttle too much. Pressing the accelerator hard caused the wipers to stop because vacuum was needed by the engine. Thanks for those memories. Hadn't remembered that in a long time

@artemus_5 ... I always believed that to be true with the power grid. I do now have a power conditioner, that supposedly breaks down the incoming AC into the UPS batteries, then reconstructs it to perfect voltage and sine wave. Despite that, I still believe that to be a factor, don't know how or why I can, but I do.

@kmckenn

I also have a power conditioner but maybe it has less to strain out at night. I don’t know. But There is probably more to it also. IE, even though I am retired I find it hard to get into listening during the day. I feel like I need to be accomplishing something. And there is plenty to do. So I can’t really put myself fully into it. I am a big believer that mood may be the #1 determining factor in listening pleasure. At least for me.

As for the car running better, I was 16 yr old & had a 58 ford w a 312 Tbird engine. The nice thing about that car was that it has a scoop built into the center of the hood which they placed a Ford emblem. I knocked that emblem out and put screen wire in it so that I had cold air induction almost straight into the carb. I think that made the difference. I know she would eat 283 Chevy’s up. Fun days living in my ignorant bliss 😀

Night time is the right time. 

Power.

Admit it, you are a newbie.
