Do the Audio gods shine upon you?

Has anyone else had this experience or am I just nuts? You sit down for a quiet evening of Hi Fi listening and after some warmup time you suddenly realize that your system sounds dramatically better than it did the night before. I am talking about those little things like more resolution, low level detail. You know, those things that turn audiophiles on. I am almost afraid to turn my system on again for fear that the "audio gods" have abandoned me.

2chnlben, you have hit the nail on the head threefold in fact:
1. It is selfmedication if and when the audiogods shine.
2.The auxiliar spirits you mention tend to deepen the beneficial effects.
3. No moderation tends to drive the elves away, alas......

I am willing to bet that people with hard drive based storage systems or music servers do not have any trouble at all in this area because they can "taste test" their music and find something that fits their mood and any other external factors that may be at work.

I loved that about the ear plugs..be also careful with opening your bottle of Champagne, the ensuing POP "will negate the usefulness of having" drunk a glass or two.

i think temperature and humiditity may contribute, and also how "sequenced" the ears are before a session. Similar to when a singer or a insturment player goes through all of the notes high to low before going on with the arrangement. Better to go through all of the listening frequencies before playing on.
