I used to have a similar problem with my system. It sounded best late at night and worst during the day, especially in the afternoon. The problem for me was noise on my power lines. I added Richard Gray Power Conditioners to my system and the sound is now very clean throughout the day, and much more dynamic. If you go with a power conditioner, I would recommend trying them first to make sure you find one that works well with your system.
Inconsistency in System
I am experiencing a rather large degree of inconsistency in the quality of the sound from my system day to day or even within the day at different times. At times rich, warm, inviting....other times veiled, harsh and way bright. My hunch is this is power related but am not sure. Does anyone have a suggestion on what might be causing this variability and if so, what I might do to correct problem?
