Mood


Last night, listening before I went to bed, I was convinced there was something radically wrong with my system. Nothing sounded good.  This morning I decided to play something I was sure would sound good.  All of a sudden my mood picked up.  Now everything I heard after that was reference sound quality.

I wonder if anyone else has had that kind of mood swing from one day to the next.

In general, I really like the way my speakers sound the way they are.  My friend who has the same speakers listens near field.  They don’t sound nearly as  good.  It’s just those times when I hear a bad recording and it sets me off into critical mode that I have problems. I listen to orchestral music mostly.

@stuartk On your sibilance issue, have you tried different speaker cables? It seems they are silver plated which can exacerbate sibilance. 

I think power quality has a lot to do with it.  Sometimes my system sounds bad and Most of the times it is clean and crisp.  Maybe justification for a power purifier.
