Do the Audio gods shine upon you?

There is something special about being alone with all you have worked so hard to assemble and put togther. Play anything, at any volume...

BTW, Sunday afternoons are just as good as any late evening.

I guess I am from the camp of 'the glass is half empty'. I sometimes sit down and nothing seems to excite me. I know which CD's are 'lifeless' and do not even play them on my main rig. After surfing on a few songs, I turn it off. Not sure why. Maybe I was just not in the mood to listen after all. Other times, I really get into it. I envy those that literally get goosebumps while listening. I do not. I jealously hope that they are not enjoying their music more than me.

Another 'plausible' explanation...would be changes in humidity and temperature and barometric pressure.

All these conditions affect the density of the air. Ask any pilot. Air is less dense when hot, humid, or high up
(like Denver). Aircraft performance deteriorates with less dense air. Why wouldn't it also affect the sound waves reaching our ears? Remember those train whistles on certain days sounding different?

My guess would be the more dense air would provide sonic benefits as the air molecules would be most closely associated with each other, and our speaker drivers are essentially 'bumping' the molecules....which then 'bump' each other...until reaching our tympanic membranes (eardrums) and bumping them to create small sympathetic vibrations which are then converted to chemically mediated 'electrical' signals carried by nerves to our brains. Wow!

On second thought, it probably is just the Audio Gods!

They freekin love me. The music hasn't been so good for a long time, but, I'm sure they love me.

Hopefully, they'll love my new room and system.

It might be because of shift in your ear wax. We should all get ear wax cleaner from a drug store, and clean ours - most cost effective tweak.

Also it might be your body condition. Some audio lovers would actually get up and exercise to be in top condition for their listening session.

I find audio a great help in exercising - with a sub going on a pop music with heavy drum beats, you don't feel the pain.

Anyway, I found that if you assemble a liquid sounding system, then those special moments happen more often. You can enjoy music right from the beginning without having to warm them up.
