The answer is, it is all relative. If you compare your system to a 10 dollar boom box, it is amazing. Compared to a 250k reference system, your system is likely not so great. I don’t know your system, but I can say with confidence that compared to the source of music for everyone in the world, and since the dawn of time, your system is better then the VAST majority and probably in the top 1%. Of all the people I know, very few have a stereo (which is shocking to me) and those that do most all have a home theater or $2000 system.
How do I know if my systems any good?
I'm not able to leave my house due to a long-standing injury, so I'm unable to hear anyone else's system. I could list out my components but not sure what that would achieve. Lets assume they're all fine pieces.
what are the things that should be considered when listening and judging an audio system that combines streaming and home theater via bypas thru a preamp.
Maybe it's a great system.
