Always can be a very long time.I have always found that my system always sounds best when there is no one else in the room.
Other people always say my system sounds shit, but when they are not there it sound great.

It always sounds good when it rains. Weather has a huge impact on sound velocity by affecting humidity, pressure and temperature. Sound velocity is very important to final sound. It changes the sound propagation pattern. Acoustics as we know is not much different than underwater acoustics. Air and water are both liquids. I believe @christensenleif@msn.com might explain it better.yesterday, for a while the setup wasn't sounding very good. I noticed that there was a lot of static when I touched metal objects. Last night it was sounding more normal. Today it rained and the sound is wonderful.
Did the rain affect both the setup and my mood? How can you separate these? We are the last variable in any hifi system.
very interesting. now we need a similar understanding of how rain affects the body/mind/emotions. Certainly, changing barometric pressure can be felt in our joints from time to time.It always sounds good when it rains.

Rain decreases absorption (especially the high frequencies) by increasing sound speed besides eliminating static and improving ground.
My approach is from an acoustic stand point, of course phycological effects of rain are also involved.very interesting. now we need a similar understanding of how rain affects the body/mind/emotions. Certainly, changing barometric pressure can be felt in our joints from time to time.
That why no good keep cd and vinyl in the same room
Are you saying our bodies pick up plastics and metals around us without or conscious being aware?The reason why CDs, vinyl, videos books, magazines hurt the sound is because of our innate extra sensory perception ESP, you can also call it mind-matter interaction. The “transceiver” which is our brain *subconsciously* picks up on certain things, unnatural or alien things, it’s an evolutionary function. Words have meaning, even when you’re not consciously aware of them, when they’re hidden! Does that surprise you? Friends visiting to hear your system will also hear the new improved sound. I suspect most audiophiles believe that hearing is simply the brain interpreting acoustic waves that arrive at the ear, a strictly physical/biological view.
Ever wonder why the sound at audio shows is generally so abysmal? some reasons are because there are so many cell phones and watches.
”It’s what I choose to believe.” Dr. Shaw in Prometheus
Not eggs akley, I think our minds act like transceivers for picking up on things in the local environment. Hence the ESP reference. I don’t think RF is one of them, however, that’s most likely a form of electronic noise. It’s in the signal path, whereas the others aren’t, they fall into the category, Things that influence the sound but aren’t in the signal path. My example of an empty or almost empty room is to illustrate the point. Almost everyone would prefer to keep acoustic treatments in the room, if nothing else, one assumes.Are you saying our bodies pick up plastics and metals around us without or conscious being aware?
I see where you trying to go.
Static/dry air, RF. More acceptable we are impacted and our senses are impacted with data that is a distortion on the listening to music sensory inputs.
If you strip too much of the furnishings that makes the room a pleasant environment, you could create a distraction greater than a distortion from sensing static.
What are you asking when you say First?Hi, I’m new here. Innocent Question, do you have to be a VIP/Donor first?
Why? How are they related?Hi, I’m new here. Innocent Question, do you have to be a VIP/Donor first?
That is on your portable player with headphones of course ?Reporting back after removing CDs from the room. After listening to a couple of CDs in my current rotation I can summarize my results as: less distortion, much more inner detail and inner dynamics, very very transparent and smoother. A New medium? Doesn’t sound like digital or analog.
Nothing in audio surprises me anymore, imagination and " technology " truly running free and unfettered !Does that surprise you? Even more than my report?

Riddle: what’s the difference between a paranoid and a psychotic? A paranoid thinks he’s discovered something but he hasn’t figured out what’s bothering him yet. When he figures out what he was paranoid about then he becomes psychotic.
