Ramstl is right about the "organic variables", but also about the AC, which is generally better at night. The right kind of temperature und humidity has an effect, I have found and of course listening in the dark, which will let your subjective perception of soundstage bloom and deepen. But then also the company you share your music with will often have an effect. Sounds crazy, but I have had repeated system breakdowns when I wanted to show off to certain people, while with specific others, the mutual enjoyment of the system, led to a deeper and deeper involvement with the musical event. I generally have found, that shared listening with a person close to you, makes for a deeper enjoyment and involvement,compared to just listening by yourself. |
Amen Halleluja,Steven, Amen!! |
...and afterwards, Slawney,when you woke up in your listening chair, the filled glass of red wine still firmly grasped in your left hand, you'll wonder if it was only a fata morgana.... |

Artemus, it certainly is not Voodoo, nor is it in the mind, your digestive system or the mood of your significant other. Highly evolved and heavily tweaked systems are like highly tuned racing engines. Changes in temperature, humidity, fuel (in our case electricity), changes in tire pressure,( balancing out of the front end) will certainly influence performance. Lp performance I've found for example, will be best at about 25 degrees centigrate and at a humidity of not less than 60%. Just my 2 cents.

With long or short runs, Clueless? |
Since you sincerely remain clueless, Clueless, my sagacity would be wasted, wouldn't it, besides I don't want to centigrate on your sensibilities. Yankee English I only know from the movies and you know how misleading this can be for a gnome, who lives in the land of the cuckoo clocks, has muesli for breakfast and likes to see Heidi strip. Does your freezer run on 220 or 120 VAC? 50 or 60 cycles? I'm ony asking, because it might rattle your icecubes, if the hearbeat is set to the wrong frequency. It will make you bash your head against THE WALL, you know. Just believe an old shrink. I know what I'm talking about. But then, following your various posts with interest: YOU don't need no educaition......
3 Cheers (all for you), |
Ask Clueless, he's the icebox expert, I'd say, you have to put them through a shredder first. |
How nice to see this old thread revived! Thanks Chashmal!
We had so much fun here in years back.....
Whenever I get drawn into the music and forget the gear, music prevails. Whenever music prevails, the Audiogods shine. They do not shine, when the audiogear prevails in your mind.
The paradox in an Audiophile's life. |
2chnlben, you have hit the nail on the head threefold in fact:
1. It is selfmedication if and when the audiogods shine.
2.The auxiliar spirits you mention tend to deepen the beneficial effects.
3. No moderation tends to drive the elves away, alas...... |
I loved that about the ear plugs..be also careful with opening your bottle of Champagne, the ensuing POP "will negate the usefulness of having" drunk a glass or two.

OOPS, the above was meant for Marios "08-29-01: Tfta"
delightful posting, which I took for the end of this thread. Supid of me, obviously too much popping of corks lately........ |
