DISCUSSION: "It only comes out at night". Does anyone else have this experience!?


In my listening experience, whatever system you have, whatever components, whatever the material, medium, one thing always seems to remain constant. It ALWAYS sounds better in the deep and still of the night!!!

 

Is it because night time is generally quieter? Is it because the world of electronics is then shielded from the SUN? Is it because there is less demand on the electrical service?

 

Whatever it is, there is one thing I know for sure, music sounds better late into the night!

Absolutely. My system always sounds better after the sun has gone down. There is less electromagnetic interference and less nasty harmonics on the grid. The Decware guy is right about letting your speakers warm up for a while. Mine always sound better after 20-30 minutes. The same amount of time I let my tube amps warm up.

Oh, there is no doubt speakers have to warm up. Both the VC and the surround. It is most obvious to me in my Jeep. First thing in the morning my sub seems basically non-existent. After driving for a bit, ambient temps go up, woofer warms up, BIG difference.

The car at night - Its cooler at night , therefore more oxygen molecules available for combustion . Result more power . Of course turbo charged cars will benefit even more.

Hi-Fi at night. Electro-Magnetic radiation from the sun is shielded by the earth during the night.EM is a known audio noise , that has significant effect on SQ.

I don't buy the AC supply being quieter at night in  a normal residential environment . 

once I lived in a house with such a horrible electrification, that I could only listen to music after midnight.

I highly reccomend to buy a AC iPurifier. It will sound much better!
