Alonski nailed it IMO!
First and foremost, this ethereal and magical experience is a magical "passive" event in our hobby: it just "happens" and it is not an "active" event that can be ordered up, or easily influenced, or forced .
I agree with Alonski that it likely boils down to an evolving mismatch via:
(A) your music selected including inter alia, the music genre selected and/or the quality of the recording.
(B) your audio system as a whole used to reproduce (A) above. Component synergy matters, and the myriad of competing gear all have a differing sound signature.
