System sounds better at night?

I have noticed that my system sounds MUCH better at night, after about 10pm than at any other time of day. It is clearer, more open and transparent, with a blacker background. Another audiophile told me that this is not real, it's just that there is less noise in the household at night. I disagree in that what I hear (or don't hear) is not simply due to less ambient noise but rather cleaner sound. Will power line conditioners simulate these effects during the day? Has anyone else noticed this and what is the most effective way to get better sound during the daytime? Serious responses only, please.

Tell your buddy that someone is "smokin' somethin'" but it's not you. This is a common occurance and you are not alone in your findings. My systems typically sounds noticeably better after about 1 or 2 in the morning. Soundstage becomes far more vivid and detailed, there is a "haze" or "grunge" that is removed, everything becomes more lucid, etc.... While i wish that i could achieve these results all the time, it is probably not achievable unless one has their own generator system to plug into or the capability of being able to run everything off batteries.
