Yes. This recently happened to me, but the other way around. Sounded great one day, lackluster the next. I’m not certain if it was mood. At the time, I thought it was the affect of a random playlist. On the good day, a well recorded first song made me happy with the system, and made everything that followed be perceived in the positive. Day 2, a poorly recorded first song left a bad taste for all that followed. Maybe it was just mood. I would say that I’ll run some tests and be more attentive to actually choose a first song - but I know I won’t.
Mood
Last night, listening before I went to bed, I was convinced there was something radically wrong with my system. Nothing sounded good. This morning I decided to play something I was sure would sound good. All of a sudden my mood picked up. Now everything I heard after that was reference sound quality.
I wonder if anyone else has had that kind of mood swing from one day to the next.
