What’s your obstacles on the way of listening

Summer time is coming, birds are going crazy, saws and grass cutters are buzzing, hummers are knocking, leaves are rustle... what else is on the way of your listening? ... my best season of listening is Christmas time and fallowing couple of months. Looks like Arctic Circle geographically the best place for critical listening:)... lucky Alaskans and North Canadians :)

@ghdprentice  I had terrible sound variation due to A/C going on, both mine and all my neighbors on our transformer, it seemed.  I fixed it by using a PS Audio P-20 regenerator, and from what you describe, this might work for you, too.  Sounds great all day and night.

Thank you. It isn’t electrical... I have a direct line. It is the very slight background noice. My listening area is dead silent... well, except when the fan is running in the air conditioning. But I can always turn it off for a while.

I fixed my room by adding a mini split inverter combo AC/ heating system. Its dead quiet. The room is well treated. Close all doors. Favorite beverage....Feet up. Digital nirvana. Albums are such a pain. Relax and enjoy the peace and solitude especially in the late evening.
