“Black background” — What really contributes to this phenomenon?


How to enjoy the tiniest of musical details and lowest noise floor against the blackest of backgrounds?  
Power? Sources? DAC? Amps? Cables? Tweaks?  Vibration control? Any of these in particular?

I literally laughed out loud as this has been my experience!  I frequently work in an environment that has multiple (40ish) video recorders in a huge racks that all have fans going within them.  Then there’s the noise generated by the robust heating and (mostly) cooling systems.  Toss in a TV and you’ve got the perfect recipe for tinnitus, which I have!
