The Midnight Effect - Who-How?

You have high end equipment designed in a way to make it seemingly impervious to power line fluctuations. You add expensive conditioners and/or power line regenerators just to be safe.

You sit and listen to your system for a few hours and everything sounds great. Then, from nowhere, like someone flicked a switch…. the sound opens up… becomes more natural, more focused… the soundstage suddenly blooms and becomes more dimensional, more depth and more space around instruments. WTF just happened? The only clue is the clock on the wall and the empty wine flagon next to your chair.

I’m long past questioning whether the phenomenon is real. To what extent it exists depends on certain variables, but it exists. But how? I live in the boondocks, there’s no industry or commerce that suddenly shuts down at 23:00 every night. 
Do others experience this? Do you have an explanation? Perhaps even some empirical data?

Is it just the booze?

excellent post!

 

Many people are so materialistic they think subjectivity and impressions are only and merely always illusions...

brainwashed as in Communist Soviet about "soul" and astral and etherical dimensions which were proven to exist by the CIA remote viewers program which is comical and tragic...☺😊

 

i always listened in an improved way past 22 hour...too many factors to be put on a page ...

 

Easier to understand:

-Fluctuations in power quality

 

More complicated/hard to understand:

- Shifting bio rythms of the human body

- Shifting etheric content, etc

When you lay off the booze and keep increasing the intensity of attention you pay towards yourself and things around you, the more complicated things in life can be perceived.

If you couple the psychological real effect in increasing sensitivity to sound at night with a more silent environment and generally no house heavy appliances working passed some late hours, less electrical disturbance in the neighborhood it does not need a Darpa research to feel a better acoustic experience in part resulting from decrease in the noise floor and more auditory sense relaxation ...😋

 

When i was doing my critical set of acoustics experiments for more than one year straight each day i waited in the evening late to verify the results and confirmed them or not,...Day listenings was not enough reliable...

By the way we do not remember sound details quality in a conscious way pass a very very short time. But my body remember it and remind it of some improvement or the opposite in the form of feelings when listenings...To experience this we must be totally relax with music we know completely well.. ..if it was not true i would have been unable to tune 100 resonators by ears mechanically . ( it was an acoustic puzzle because location matter)

By the way i never planned to do that, i make it one by one set of three without even knowing that it was a planned experiment at all i only go behind each small improvement and corrections ...More fun than buying  and we learn how to hear...

Then the improvement of acoustics parameters perception in the late evening is real ...

More electrical grid calm can be noticeable for some cities in particular..

Or the influence of darkness on hearing...😊

We hear the best when we were in our mother womb in complete darkness...

The same is true in a dark room at night...

Or blind...

Whisky has nothing to do with that as in love making you may feel it is better with no more self restrainsts with alcool but it is not at all really better and may impede erection at last ...😁

Drunkness impair hearing as seeing but you felt it is better for sure ...😊
