@daveteauk buying off, on? Talking about the coincidentally phrased question response, and what answer that as such phrased question got, alleged buying off?
DISCUSSION: "It only comes out at night". Does anyone else have this experience!?
In my listening experience, whatever system you have, whatever components, whatever the material, medium, one thing always seems to remain constant. It ALWAYS sounds better in the deep and still of the night!!!
Is it because night time is generally quieter? Is it because the world of electronics is then shielded from the SUN? Is it because there is less demand on the electrical service?
Whatever it is, there is one thing I know for sure, music sounds better late into the night!

@artemus_5 ... I always believed that to be true with the power grid. I do now have a power conditioner, that supposedly breaks down the incoming AC into the UPS batteries, then reconstructs it to perfect voltage and sine wave. Despite that, I still believe that to be a factor, don't know how or why I can, but I do. |
Hmmmm.... just adding things in to compliment the input. My location: very rural subdivision a few hundred yards from the fringe of a state park/lake. Listening room: finished, basement behind subterranean reinforced concrete walls. I can’t recall what the “technology” is called, but all my equipment is behind a UPS that completely isolates AC output from AC input by reconstituting the AC voltage and sine wave from a bank of DC batteries.
But, I still notice it. Yes, lights out except for the annoying glow of power on indicators helps (I buy off on the your mind gets distracted by other input (light)). Despite my AC isolation, also buy off on the AC/Power grid. Environmental noise is very low in the listening area, all but the most severe thunderstorms go unnoticed, and can be soo quiet that you can hear your heart beat, but I also buy off on ambient noise being less. Having AC isolation I leave my electronics on, so they are always “warm”, but also buy off on after listen for a while at night it still warms up after a while of listen (all the right components within the components warmed up?). I also buy off on the magic of a deep blanket of snow.
i can’t recall ever having a similar DAYTIME experience.... does that support that the SUN does many more things to this earth than provide light and warmth?
i still believe in (enter some ominous music here) “IT ONLY COMES OUT AT NIGHT! (Evil LAUGH (Vincent Price)) |
@millercarbon "... your "technology" does not completely isolate. Your batteries are connected to the grid for charging. AC grid noise gets a free ride.".
You bubble burster you! You do realize now you have made me go back and obsessively research this, just to make myself feel worse, RIGHT!?
Here is what I got, many years ago... it suggests it isolates it. (SU1500RTXL2UA SmartOnline® Double-Conversion Rack/Tower Sine Wave UPS).

It also could be all of the other things already discussed, and the other things unknown and not discussed. It could even be not true and merely subjective perception.
it could be that the sun bombards earth with far more than light and warmth, and when sufficiently beyond the horizon everything known and that unknown could be it, if it even does exist. And an interesting derivative in language is, that any word that abstractly equates to “may be”, “could be”, creates an inference of may NOT be, or could NOT be, otherwise descriptives such as ABSOLUTELY would be used. |
Re: “gaslighting”, that is in regards to disbelieving anything because it is said, “the person selling it says it works”, which in extreme gaslighting paranoia would require that whatever is said must be disbelieved but for the fact it was said. Or, because it was said (sold) it mandates it be disbelieved.
such as, what was just said. if it is said, it must be disbelieved.
WHICH is in large part is going on in our present day “media”, mainstream. You can’t believe what you see, 24/7/365, which is gaslighting. |
@gumbedamit could be interesting to watch. Where might a fellow like myself find such an alleged video sir!? |
@gumbedamit It was interesting hearing him read the question. Having not seen that, it come pretty close to the opening post & topic. |
