Do the Audio gods shine upon you?


Has anyone else had this experience or am I just nuts? You sit down for a quiet evening of Hi Fi listening and after some warmup time you suddenly realize that your system sounds dramatically better than it did the night before. I am talking about those little things like more resolution, low level detail. You know, those things that turn audiophiles on. I am almost afraid to turn my system on again for fear that the "audio gods" have abandoned me.

I, too have had the audio gods visit...however, they seem to come when I am feeling particularly good. I can't tell you how often a great bottle of wine appears to precede their entrance. It never seems to happen when I come home from work, frazzled and just wanting to collapse. And then...the voices screaming in my head put a pox on any chance of them showing up! (lol)

Truly, I believe there are so many subjective possibilities, such as background noise at a minimum, my own zen state and the ability to focus and hear clearly. I have a friend who swears the electrical background during the day affects his system (I hope he's talking about his stereo!)
