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 :)

Dimmers make other people look brighter. And the reverse is true. So depending on your purpose you can act dim or bright. Yes and it does effect your connection to the emotional experience of the sound of your system.
Shinning bright light 💡 on cables for a few minutes prior to play is a different idea entirely. Amuse your friends.
I have a 'lifetime' stash of 100 watt incandescent light bulbs. I still use them in one room with a dimmer.               
If you want to see what the dimmer does to other circuits, get a PS Audio Noise Harvester. plug them in abd see how much they blink. Also good remove noisy items as you can find the culprits with one.
Re: PS Harvester.....Plugged one in, the light blinked, the sound was reduced to flat and ugly...two made the sound worse.  Returned all 3 - yuk!
