I've got the Feeva.. and the prescription ain't more cowbell!

Introducing new components into my system always presents a challenge. Until I feel in my gut, that challenge is resolved, I'm just not physically 100%. Having said this, (I have been feeling physically down lately and kind of blase'.)

(To give an example of my (OCD ?).... watching New Record Day audio reviews, (which I enjoy), I notice that every time he sets the arm down on a record... the constant wavering of the VPI arm....whether it's on a Avenger or a Classic 3.... I wonder why this wavering goes on for so long? Then I surmise, he probably isn't using the anti-skating feature.. or his home-made rack isn't very stable. These are the kinds of things I notice.  Fast forward....

My recent challenge...replacing a pair of Usher BE-718s for a pair of Usher Tiny Dancer Mini One Diamonds.

After unboxing them and setting them into a familiar place... I could immediately hear the positive difference. But as you all know, there is more work to be done. This dialing in period lasted around three days. (Over these three days my physical feeling has been kind of a steady 80%).

My main problem was dealing with the uneven room dimensions. Don't even get me started on the workmanship of housing construction or the drying methods of wood used in housing construction. (One does needs a stable/level (platform) to start with which ending up being my front wall). Yes. It was then and only then, that my "Feeva" started to dissipate and my MOJO returning. 

Deciding the front wall as my reference, I was now able to dial in these speakers to within 98% of their ability. Now I'm nodding my head and tapping my feet!

I'm also feeling better physically.

Is my "Feeva", my physical well being, tied to my system's set-up? I really think it is. How about you?
