Now you hit the other side of the coin! Sorry for digging little deeper... Our autonomic nervous system consists of 2 aspects, sympathetic (activity) and parasympathetic (rest). It´s easy to measure these parameters with so called Heart Rate Variability (HRV). Balance in HRV is a sign of health and coherence. Noticed that it sometimes takes 3-4 tracks before I enter a kind of relaxed coherent listening state. So once I tried to meditate for a short while before the music session and experienced directly a state of coherence.
There is also the possibility that at night, when it's darker the senses shift more from eyesight to hearing, and thus have an effect on the SQ, to your ears...
I'd never thought about it that way, but it makes perfect sense. Like Jonas says, the music seems to immerse us more when we shut our eyes.

Great tweak brit! Have to compare it with other liquids. Remembered me about a late evening at Roskilde music festival around 1987. Next morning some friends got worried when they saw my partly red jeans jacket and thought it was blood. However I soon recalled that I had jumped to the music, with an opened bottle of red wine inside a pocket.
Conclusion:
According to some of us, drinking a bit during the day fixes this kind of issues.
Forget grounding grids, expensive power suplies, huge cables, etc.
Exactly. Just listen drunk. It will sound fabulous, but even if it doesn't you won't remember in the morning anyway and/or you'll be too hungover to care.

It might be enough with a glass or two to become "tweaked"... Less good equipment - bigger glasses.

That's a mighty fine looking drinks cabinet. There is nothing there that I recognise, so I'd love to come and have a tasting session with you!

Music and tweak sessions in some countries could be interesting.
Tweaks 'n' Toasts!
