@baclagg: I've done the same thousands of times. I'll plan out the time, the music and the wine and hold my breath. So disappointed when it doesn't happen. But like you said, when it does, WOWWW. I always blame it on my ears and try to backtrack as to what i did that day that would lead up to the disappointment.
When Everything Comes Together
I enjoy listening to music on my system on a regular basis. I would say 10-15 hours a week. But, every once in a while, something is different. The sound stage is wider and deeper, the vocals are more life like and focused, the imaging is magical. I had such an experience last night. Everything I played gave me goosebumps! Pearl Jam's 10 album, The Eagles Hotel California, Metallica's Unforgiven, Enter the Sandman and Nothing Else Matters, Elton John's Tiny Dancer, Levon and Madman Across the Water and I finished up with Ozzy's No More Tears and Momma I'm Coming Home. With each song I sat there soaking in every note. It was almost a religious experience! A lot goes into critical listening and a lot of components have to work together to get it right, including the listener being in the right frame of mind. I guess I was there last night. It was all about the music and my system completely disappeared. I love this hobby!
