Do you have to be “in the mood?”

Do you have to be in the mood to enjoy the music on your stereo, or does your stereo put you in the mood?  I find that if I put on my set just because I want to enjoy the sound coming out, I seldom have a very good outcome.  That expensive big beautiful rig over there invites you to play it.  But, playing it just for kicks doesn’t do it for me. I have to be really receptive to what I’m playing on it, otherwise I’m prone to all sorts of imagined defects. 
 Music reproduction is not an exact science.  There must be a “suspension of disbelief” in the realness  of the sound produced for me  to enjoy it,  much as we overlook the  implausible incongruities in movie plots so that we can enjoy a film.   I must be involved in the music itself to  appreciate  the sound and really enjoy my rig.

Frogman and cd318,

You are both right.

I compose these posts because I have inconsistency in my listening experiences.   I over analyze as a means of trying to to obtain a better perspective.
 I also think others may have similar reactions and I wonder how they deal with them.

I do wish it were simpler for me.
