Bright or Dim?


Have you ever noticed that when listening to music in your listening area that music seems to sound better with the lights down? To me there is a rather noticeable difference. Could be just in my mind because that's how I like to listen, or is it something more biological/scientific than that?  Could it be that the lessoning of one sense enhances the other? Maybe it's just me. Anyway I thought I would see if anyone else has the same experience. Im sure if there is an actual reason for this phenomena, that someone on this forum will have the answer :)

barnettk,

I am not sure if the music sounds better with lights dim but it is more enjoyable. At the same time, cars definitely drive better when they are clean. I am not sure about science behind it, but it works.
I listen all day every day. morning to night. Huge picture window, bright light. Period. At night a tiny fraction of the light. I notice no difference in the quality of the music, bright or dim.  Many other factors, but light is not one of them.
