system sounds wonderful tonight

Posted by: dayjay on 27 April 2015

I don't notice nights where everything sounds better than usual as often with this current system,  although I did with its predecessor.  More often I get the odd night when it sounds a little off but tonight it sounds truly fantastic.  Loads of detail, texture and emotion and so musical. Kate Bush sounds thrilling. I don't think it's my mood because its been a crap day and I almost didn't bother with music at all but I'm so glad I did because its been a joy. Just wish I could keep it this way

Maybe a change in pressure or quality of air, sometimes I can smell a good nights listening. Perhaps the blossom on the trees sweetens certain frequencies.

I don't know but I wish I could isolate it because it would be a lot cheaper than some of the upgrades I have planned and would probably have a bigger impact

I've noticed how the sound can change over the course of the day, even at weekends (where it's often better, at least where I live)

Broadly speaking I find evenings are better, perhaps unsurprisingly (if you sign up to the hypothesis)

Any time during the day is usually poor, music just sounds flat with reduce sound staging etc

I've heard this is to do with the supply and how 'dirty' it is at different times due to industry for example

Likely a case for (some) mains products but I do appreciate there is perhaps an element of snakeoil here

This one gets me also. Is it me, the kit, the power coming in I don't know but sometimes you sit down and everything just sounds incredible.

 

One Saturday morning the whole kit sounded a million dollars, gawd knows why wish I could put a finger on it, feels good though.....

There is definitely variation in experience. Partly related to electricity quality, mood and potential optimal conditions in cable dressing etc.

 

it can be so great - when all is right.

I am in total bliss with my Si series (Pah, entry level?) system into Credos.

 

I am so pleased with it, I race home from work every day just to sit down and relax to some wonderful music !!

 

Fabulous stuff !!

Since installing a homebrew DC blocking unit (with increased RF impedance), my system is consistently performing better than before, and now doesn't vary at all.
