Sound quality vs. Mood

I've been trying to get a handle on why my system sounds so much better some times than others. The most common explanation would probably implicate the quality of my power. That could very well be and as soon as I can afford to experiment, that's what I'm going to focus on. However, I've always suspected that mood has a huge effect - maybe the largest effect - on subjective sound quality. Any thoughts?

FatParrot, you must be a Parrot Head!

Oh it's Bandstand, Disneyland, growin' up fast
Drinkin' on a fake ID
And Ramar of the jungle was everybody's bwana
but only jazz musicians were smokin' marijuana

Adam, you're 100% right about the importance of mood.

When the mood is right, you don't even think of tinkering/modifying/upgrading anything.

It's a two way street, the music can certainly affect your mood, but thena gain you're simply refelcting your newly modified mood into the music.

Music is and internal experience, both emotional in intellectual. There are times when you do feel like listening for "sound", and that's when you tweak, move stuff around, etc.

That's the "hobby" portion of audio.

When you're in the mood for music (many moods, for many songs, of course) that's the fun portion.

If it was simply about "better sound" I'd sell everything and go read a book.
