Group Challenge - Home lighting, who is in?
Hi everyone,
So I've been thinking a little bit about when my system seems to sound best, and I'm starting to wonder if it's the lights. Modern high efficiency lights have a lot more tech in them than the old school incandescent, which were basically a resistor placed between the hot and the neutral.
So here is the challenge, if you are keen to try an experiment and post your results. Around 7-9 PM your local time turn off all the lights in your home and listen to your system. Do you hear a benefit?
Post your findings, positive or negative along with any power conditioner you may be using.
Please stay safe, keep a flashlight or other device handy if you need to. :)
Best,
Erik

Once you do, mc will guide you step by step on it’s optimal placement. |
I much prefer listening with the lights off. I even got some of these network-controlled plugs so I can switch them without getting up. I’ve always thought it’s the lack of distraction that makes the experience better, but I can’t rule out that the lights are somehow affecting the actual sound. In my space, though, lighting and audio have separate dedicated circuits. |
Your lights, are they by any chance can lights? If so it may not be the lights. Its the cans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tcwz8-EfFYE I can joke about this because as you know very well I have posted numerous times explaining in detail what is going on and how to test it. Do a search. |
i dont think it has anything to do with the lights in the house.. i think it has to do with the demand of power is less at the later times of the day. why do you think a system sounds good early in the morning and late at night but not so good during the day. ? the demand for power is less in the morning and evening and more during the day. |
