Power conditioner question

Hi All,

Has anyone ever noticed how much better their system sounds in the wee hours of the night (or early morning). I don't know what it is, but I can't explain it. I wish I could have the same sound quality in the middle of the afternoon when the house is quiet. I can't put my finger on it, but in a house that is silent in the afternoon, my system to me, just sounds better when it is equally silent at night. I hope this isn't a physchological thing. I was wondering if maybe the line noise from my neighbors could be the issue, or maybe there are more people using the power circuit in the afternoon and putting all kinds of noise on it. Does anyone know anything about this? Does anyone out there think a power conditioner can give me the same quality of sound that I receive at night in the afternoon, on account of the fact that the line would be "cleaner"? Has anyone ever tried this?

Thanks in advanced

Music sounds better at night because there are fewer demands on the AC so your AC is cleaner, though it seems as quiet in the afternoon, there has to be less white noise at night, and because
at a certain point in the evening, you become more relaxed. If you
dim or turn the lights off, your hearing will also become more acute. Dedicated circuits and an AC conditioner will help you get
that "late at night" sound -- BUT -- it will also improve your late at
night sound, so your standard will rise and your music is still likely
to sound *best* at night. But, it is a nice probem to have. Start
with properly grounded dedicated 20 AMP circuits with Hospital
Grade outlets.

Labtec -- I wrote, "though it seems as quiet in the afternoon, there has to be less white noise at night." So, I agree with you.
