How often is your system "good"?


In a recent article in Stereophile, the author wrote, "When my system is good, it forces me to appreciate artists and songs I'd never noticed before."

My presumption is that the author meant that his system sounds better some days than it does others.   I think this is an accepted fact.  I believe my system does better early in the morning and late at night due to power constraints.  I have a voltage meter on one of my outlets and I feel better about the sound when the voltage isn't sagging.  

My question for readers here is how often is your system good?   And to what do you attribute the goodness of your system from one day to the next?

Hi cymbop, not me sorry.   I agree with what you're saying about mindset though, and I also believe there are human physical variables that make some days better than others.  The human ears play a big part in a good listening session.   Some days I think I can hear better than others, just like some days I think my eyes can see better than others. 
Power supply is definitely my biggest factor.   Turning off ceiling fans and other power suckers in the house makes for the best listening experience.
