I like the dark more as well. Only not so much when I wake up 45 minutes later and find myself missing most of the album, which has happened last two nites.

When I design my house, it'll have a music room specifically for listening to good tunes not matter, be it day or nite. No windows, no phones, no people to distract you, just music!

Who is the first head-fier that is going to build himself a sensory deprivation chamber for headphone listening?

i feel the same way too but i think that if i listen to music in a dark room, my the focus is on sound since my eyes don't get distracted by light
also, when its dark in my house, its more quiet too

I follow the "other senses aren't being used" theory too.

I think another consideration is that the mind treats darkness as either a threat or an opportunity. We listen closer for security or hunting.

Just a thought.

Why build, when you can buy one so easily? ;-)

I think music sounds better at night before bed the most. The fact that you cant really see to begin with seems to sound just the right explanation. Also the fact that I sort of space out before bed might help me concentrate more. I hate it when I fall asleep with them on though.

I wonder if we can get them to the head-fi meet?

I like this user review:

"One drawback, when it was delivered the capsule had no bolt on the outside. But I'm handy, so I installed one.

I have been locking the wife and kids into the chamber from 7pm to 7am every evening, and boy am I relaxed. This really works."

This winter I have auditioned a lot of speakers and headphones, I have found that on mornings no speakers sound good, but when I go back to the store to listen again later on the day I always seem to think that the speakers sounds better. The same thing at home when I listen to my HPs or Speakers on the morning I just can't enjoy it, it doesn't sound good. Later on the day it's getting better and best around midnight. I think it has something to do with the mind getting used to sounds. For me personnaly it doesn't get much better when I have my eyes closed.

You know, I've noticed this phenomonum <sp> while commuting also. When it is still dark outside, there is nothing for the drivers to rubberneck at, so traffic flies down the freeway. but as soon as there is enough light for drivers to be distracted by looking around, then traffic almost comes to a standstill

I believe this effect (as well as other things in this hobby) is just a state of mind. You can train yourself to hear better and with more discipline at will.

BUT

There's also the fact there's more electrical interference in the daytime which does affect electronics. Turning off lights especially flourescent can affect things.
