Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next?
Last night I went to bed thinking my system was going down the tubes. This morning I loved it. Last night it sounded painfully bright and unbalanced. This morning, on the same CDs, it sounded full and rich. Now, I ask you, is it the system or me??? I understand changes in electrical currents from the wall can play a part, but I have an expensive power conditioner. I was just wondering if this is a typical bugaboo among audiophiles.
I've heard the very same differences, all the time, up until now. I think it's that my system is finally dialed into where I like it all the time. The only caveat is that there is a touch more fullness (for lack of a better word) at prime listening times (early and late day times) but everything else is there.
Yes. Can sound amazing one day and (infrequently) irritating the next; way more good days than bad, fortunately. Two variables I attribute this to are: - weather conditions, esp. humidity (I haven't kept a log but suspect rain and or/higher humidity HELP with sound from my gear); - how well-rested I am. There may be other causes though I do not associate performance differences with a specific time of day or day of the week - possibly because we live in a fairly low population area.
