Does your system do things better in the dark?

LOL Byfo, u are a sick puppy.

Enhanced focus on the music is likely 99% of it. In terms of the quality of the AC power, I wonder if people notice poorer sound in the middle of a heat wave when power demand is higher (assuming no brown out)?

Listening in the dark is essential. Luckily I discovered this early on. If you really want to experience crazy imaging and 3d life-like soundstage try smoking the pipe.

Neither Meatload or Madonna has fallen asleep on me.

No, I like to listen in a moderatly sun light room. I find it interesting to see where the sound originates from relative to other objects in the room and sometimes sounds appear to come from outside the room boundries. I find depth preception comes with the ability to see, not hear.
I like to know where the speakers are and am happy if the sound nevers appears to come from them, but from other points.
