Do the Audio gods shine upon you?

Sometimes the Audio Gods to shine on me.Some days the system just sounds awesome and brings a smile to my face. BUT other times I turn the system on and I think it doesn't sound as good. I think I hear a distortion on someone's voice or it's not as good as last night. So the Audio Gods play with my stereo way too much! ;)

This happens to me quite often. I don't know if it's caused by the frame of mind I'm in, my physical condition, or something to do with lower then usual AC voltage.

This is very interesting. I also read reviews, and then one
component seems like it is the one to get, then vise versa. It's even worse when I drink a lot of coffee, actually I
never don't. I like my system, and have my eye on other stuff, but I can live with what I now have. On certain days
though, I start feeling that same feeling, and can't figure out why. On most songs the bass hits just right, and other songs ( a couple ), it misses, and ruins the whole song, so I just change it.

I used to live across the street from an urban High school.
My system always sound better the longer school was out. This became more obvious after a new high tech computer annex was constructed.

I, too have had the audio gods visit...however, they seem to come when I am feeling particularly good. I can't tell you how often a great bottle of wine appears to precede their entrance. It never seems to happen when I come home from work, frazzled and just wanting to collapse. And then...the voices screaming in my head put a pox on any chance of them showing up! (lol)

Truly, I believe there are so many subjective possibilities, such as background noise at a minimum, my own zen state and the ability to focus and hear clearly. I have a friend who swears the electrical background during the day affects his system (I hope he's talking about his stereo!)
