Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next?


Last night I went to bed thinking my system was going down the tubes. This morning I loved it.
 Last night it sounded painfully bright and unbalanced.  This morning, on the same CDs, it sounded full and rich.
Now, I ask you, is it the system or me???
  I understand changes in electrical currents from the wall can play a part, but I have an expensive power conditioner.
 I was just wondering if this is a typical bugaboo among audiophiles.

I’ve identified the problem. It’s a tube in the preamp that was going bad.
it was intermittently causing distortion and reeking havoc with the sound, from one day to another.  After replacing the tube, the set sounds better than ever (or so it seems after the nightmare.)

I believe attitude/frame of mind has a lot to do with it. If my mind is on other things, I do not get into as much as just  " chillin' and crankin' some tunes." However, like gillatgh, never hate it.
I had similar experiences regarding perceived SQ at different listening times...until I got serious about the setup and room treatment in my dedicated listening room. Made all the difference in the world.
The room will dictate half of what you hear.
