Do the Audio gods shine upon you?


Has anyone else had this experience or am I just nuts? You sit down for a quiet evening of Hi Fi listening and after some warmup time you suddenly realize that your system sounds dramatically better than it did the night before. I am talking about those little things like more resolution, low level detail. You know, those things that turn audiophiles on. I am almost afraid to turn my system on again for fear that the "audio gods" have abandoned me.

A couple of non spiritual (read:practicle or realistic) things to keep in mind. 1)Your electricity varies all day, every day. The more it varies, the more your system will change. I believe audiophiles in general still don't understand how important power delivery is to the performance of their systems. 2)Your hearing can vary day to day as well. Spend an entire day listening to a jack hammer outside your window? Better believe this won't be a championship listening session day. Try this on for size: listen as late at night as you can, the electricity is cleaner and the ambient noise is lower. Turn off as many electrical items in your home as you can and wear ear plugs for 20 or 30 minutes before sitting down to listen. Remember to remove them SLOWLY and carefully to avoid a light pop that will negate the usefulness of having worn them. By the way, buying a power generator usually isn't helpful, having a beer or a glass of wine usually is!

i do have sound changes in my system. it always takes me away though.i have never lost great sound unless the power goes out.
I agree with Garfish. Mood is everything and my mood is never more ready for improved sound than when I've spent my weekly allowance for new cables. My mood becomes much clearer and more transparent.

Sincerely, I remain
Detlof, when giving us your sage advise on vinyl (God knows I need it) please speak good yankee English...Centigrate??? Where are you from anyway. I almost put my Pink Floyd albums in the freezer. I get so confused.
