It sounds better at night!

Most audiophiles have noticed this phenomenon. There are many conjectures of why this is so, here are a few.

1. The power line feed is more pure-there's less machinery and motors to mess with it (for those of you with Premier Power Plants, no worries).

2. There may be more power available, especially in times of peak demand (weekdays in the summer).

3. It's quieter.

4. You're winding down and you can be more attentive to the music.

5. There are fewer distractions.

6. It's generally darker in the room which enhances hearing.  When one of our 5 senses has less to do (visual for example) our other senses sharpen to compensate.

7. You can make it very dark, which provides the ultimate home listening situation, as you remove the distracting visual cues that prevent a suspension of disbelief.

The environment is very important.  Remember, much of what we hear and "see" in our imaginary soundstage is all phychological and helping improve the setting helps make a convincing mental picture of the music or the video experience.
