Time of Day for best Sound

Interesting ... might have to try that!  Thank you ...

It is rare that this is needed, but you may benefit from monitoring the incoming AC voltage, if you use a power conditioner put it after that.

See if the voltage really is changing when you hear a difference, and monitor the N-E to make sure it stays low.

If you see either changing a lot that may be either a problem or a need for a regulator. That unit is $20, btw. :)

While I do use 100% Furmans, what I didn’t mention in this thread is that I use a Furman wiht AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation). It doesn’t do much here, but in past gigs in apartments it was often active. That feature is expensive as it requires big iron, and sometimes has mechanical hum, so I don’t necessarily recommend it for everyone.

Now that I think about it, that unit was more active in late Spring than it is now.  Could be that they've improved the power delivery and I didn't even know it. :)

Nope.  It really depends on the mood in TOD, not the electricity.  I live in the 10 mile range of power plant in a SF home and the electricity is relatively clean already.  I do have power conditioner (by Monster) installed but, honestly, with it or without it my listening joyment is pretty much the same.

We also always use a dehumidifier in humid months.

I agree with pretty much all of the above yet, right now 12pm Friday I am listening and it is markedly better than last night at 1030pm. Maybe it's just me being tired verses rested. Maybe Ive been tired at night the last couple months. That is possible.

But right now it is pretty awesome.
