The Night Air


Most of us have noticed that our system sounds better during certain days, and most often always sounds better at night. I always wondered whether this was an illusion created by eliminating the "visual distortion" easier in the dark, or whether the negatively charged atmosphere really had an effect on sound. After all, AM radio frequencies travel farther at night due to atmospheric changes.

This also brings questions as to barometric pressure, humidity, and elevation and their effect on components and sound quality. I have even wondered if reviews should contain at least sea level/elevation figures and whether you could draw any parallels from this information.

Could a room air ionizer have a positive effect on sound?
Do I need to move to Denver to get my equipment to sound its best?

Got to go....men in white suits are coming to take me away HAHA HEHE HOHO

Peak generation and load is during the day. Therefore, most base loaded generators are operated during the day and not the evening. Therefore, more distortions, noise, voltage and frequency variations during the day. So yes, it is better at night in countries that have stable electrical systems.
