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!

For whatever the reason(s), my current system sounds much better at night.  I first  noticed this back in the 80's when I was stationed in Munich Germany.  I'd get off work and turn on my all SS system (Pioneer SPEC-4 power amp, SoundCraftsman EQ/Pre, Teac X-10R R2R, dbix 224 and dbx 3BX, Technics SL-1200, and Bose 901's).  After about 3 or 4 hours, the R2R sound would be so sweet.  At the time, I had no clue about warm-up time.

Now it takes about 30 minutes for my PS Audio stack to warm up and the SQ is really good.  Later in the evening, the SQ goes to another level.
