Can streamed Music sound better on a Sunday?

I’m new to the audio world. I had an accident about 2 1/2 years ago that left me a highly functioning quadriplegic. I used to mountain bike five days a week, that’s how I had the accident. I loved it I wouldn’t change anything. So I was looking into other things that interested me. Back in the 1980s I was into audio and then I took a 30 year hiatus and here I am. It’s a whole New World. So my question is can audio that I stream on a Sunday sound better than the same music during the week? Is it possible that you get less bandwidth when things are busy during the week versus when there’s less traffic on a Sunday? Call me crazy but It’s Sunday afternoon and my system sounds wonderful.

You are crazy man!  Sorry, I couldn't resist (-: 

Your post reminded me of Kristofferson's song "Sunday Morning Coming Down" made famous by  Johnny Cash. Maybe it's just  some good Sunday afternoon vibes that you are feeling.

I recently read a news article where streaming services like Netflix were being asked to limit their high-def streaming to avoid bogging down the internet because so many folks were "sheltering in place" due to the Covid-19 pandemic. That would be the opposite of what you are suggesting though.  Who  knows?

Anyway, all the best, enjoy your music!

In my experience, sound quality can vary from day to day.  It may be the amount of noise in your electricity, the noise level in your home, your frame of mind on a given day, or many other factors.

Whatever does it, enjoy!

I agree that SQ is elecricity dependant. It is however not a new finding, there is a reason that power conditioners are used in hifi setups. What is interesting though is that using my own solar produced electricity incl. battery stored electricity brings a significant improvement.
